So Andrew and I decided to go on this epic hike as a last hoo-rah before winter came and we took to snowboarding. We were gonna go to the narrows in Zion National Park but through rain and cold weather we were divinely led to this gem of a hike in Capitol Reef National Park. We were treated with various arches, narrows, hikes along clifftops, climbing and many other natural wonders. It was also cool how back country this hike was. Without a map, we lost the trail more than once hiking over a half a mile in the wrong direction which provided for extra exploration. We fed ourselves with MRE's which was definately a highlight of the trip. It was a 15 mile hike but we figure we probably ended up hiking closer to 18 miles. We would have camped one more night but we were both pretty exhausted. We ended up doing the whole trip in 2.5 days which is pretty sweet considering the awesomeness of what we accomplished in that time.

That looks fun. We wanted to go to Capital Reef this summer but never made it. We've never been there, it looks pretty! Have you ever hiked the narrows? We want to do that next year.
Do you know if you got the job?
You two are the bomb!!! It looked like beautiful country. Eric did the narrows once, it was tough but he liked it.
Only you could use the words MRE and highlight in the same sentence and mean it. Hilarious.
