HIKING THE RIM

7 April 2011:  Been hiking around behind Pam’s place with her and Di.  They sure have some great hiking just from their houses.  The views are really spectacular.  It has been mostly cloudy since we got here and lots of wind today so not to many good pictures.  Eating way to much great food also.  GB came out last night for supper and Di was also here.  Had a good time - fun to be with old friends again and have been friends for nearly 40 years! 

 My hiking partners.

This is their backyard.



One of the points walking around the rim.


That is Zion National Park in the background.

Cool day just before a bit of wind.

Looking west towards where we were hiking around the rim the day before.

Thought it was pretty neat that the mountain bikers use the same symbols as skiing for the difficulty of their trails - black diamond for hard and a green circle for the easy.  We were fascinated by the difficulty of some of the trails.  

Some brush with a great colored bark.

Lots of petrified wood in many places.

At the end of the hike.
