Just a glimpse of the "Narrows." The canyon had high walls that came close together like this a lot of the way. It is worth the effort to see it!
Getting ready for the hike down the narrows. Coby and Ian led the way. Cousin Stephani took the challenge which wasn't easy! It was 52 degrees when we started.We had a great time in Utah this past week for the Leavitt family reunion. Terry and I flew in to SLC and Brian and Cecilee and girls picked us up to go to Cedar City. It is always fun to be at Granny leavitt's house. This year we celebrated her 80th birthday. She is amazing...always cooks for everyone and makes us all feel special. Her garden was so beautiful too, and we loved the fresh cherries we picked off her trees.
We all had rooms at Kanab for three days of biking, hiking, visiting and enjoying the fourth of July together. Parades in small town Utah are the best! The food was fun too. Coby and Carol's tacos the first night were awesome, Trieste and Bonnie did great Hawaiian haystacks, berne and jan on the BBQ, corn dogs and all the trimmings, and Kori, Cecilee and I were pretty smart to do Subway for our assigned lunch. Everything was great and we loved the time with the family.
Terry, Brian, some cousins and I hiked the "Narrows" through Zion Natl. park on Friday. The scenery was spectacular and we were definitely challenged with the distance and the slippery rocks that took some time to get across. We crossed the stream a lot too, but it was worth it, even though we wondered at times if we would make it.
