I thought some people here might enjoy these.

Here are a few shots that I took at my trip to Zions National Park last weekend with my buddy Garrett. We camped Friday night, hiked and explored the park all day Saturday and returned Sunday.

These are my favorite, and best shots of the trip.

ZionNatlPark016.jpg this was our campsite, and our firepit which we were damn proud of after it took us about 25 minutes to fully finish.

Did I mention we met a man that resembled Gary Busey to the tee? He even had the raspy voice and the HUGE teeth. lol, funny shit.

    looks like you didn't do the hike up the narrows ... wet boots but totally worth it ... been there 3 times and angels landing is one of my favourite day hikes anywhere ...

    I wasn't sure where they were at...the man on the shuttle wasn't informative on that and the maps weren't the greatest either...it's a real shame you can't just literally wander the park, but there are those assholes out there that find fun in defacing shit.

    take the shuttle to the very end ... last stop!

    and make sure there isn't any rain in the forecast ... floods real fast there!

    yeah southern utah is beautiful...the whole state is. i was just realizing that today while i was at work. I work up by the University of Utah and our lunchroom has this magnificent view of the Salt Lake valley. Utah is a underrated state.

    the lady and i will be sitting in section 110, row F, seats 5 & 6 at the Tampa show...if you are anywhere near that is very odd lol but you should still say what up.
