Ramada Inn St. George

Who's idea was it to start a climbing road trip through the rockies in the middle of Fall????<br>Oh, yes... it was ours.... We managed to get to st. George UT, home of the Red Hills. We got here monday at noon, and climbed some on Prophesy wall (usually used for multi-pitching, but we used the first pitch as a sports climb route ...

St.George ist ein verschlafenes nest im staate Utah, aber supergünstig. unterkunft, essen und benzin erhielten wir nirgends günstiger, keine ahnung weshalb! <br><br>Boulder City ist der ausgangspunkt für einen ausflug zum hoover dam. wir liessen uns da von einem old ...

A little state park in Utah. Not much to see by car, as most "attractions" are reached only by hiking a trail. We did the Petrified Dunes trail, as it is the "famous" view of Snow Canyon.<br><br>Initially, I wondered what on earth made the dunes so scared, i.e. petrified? And how could they tell that the dunes ...

... was the better hike. He suggested Observation Point as it was a less crowded trail and you have a great view. We jumped on the Zion bus which is free with the entry fee and disembarked at Weeping Rock (that path was closed because of a rock fall). The trail was 4 miles that transcended 2130 feet! The sun was beating down for the second half of the ascent and it was hard! We reached the top and had lunch. The view was amazing and the canyon was phenomenal. On the way ...

I was signed myself up with one whole month at Fitness Ridge, really not knowing what to expect. There were some difficult days and there were some amazing days. The scenery is absolutely breath taking and the staff at Fitness Ridge are incredible. I also met a great deal of cool people and made lots of friends. Overall, I lost 24 pounds in 28 days! And, have amazing pictures hiking through the mountains of Southern Utah! Super fun!

Today's Google-proof photo quiz question (this is the single photo that appears when you first enter my blog each day): What is this, where is it and why are both feet shiny? Pretty fantastic day today. Did the Hoover Dam early - a.m.a.z.i.n.g.!!! I wanted to do the tour because they take you down 650 feet into the dam itself and bring you through these tunnels, etc until you get to the generator rooms. Interesting facts I did not ...

... early flight....so in short our seat was taken. Felix tried to get a flight at Southwest Airlines for Philadelphia even we have to pay discounted fare, but to no avail, all flights were full and there is no way anymore to catch our flight to Rome. We just decided to go home tired and weary, Felix booked a flight instead to Washington, DC. It's a tiring flight because we left at about 0900pm and arrived at Washington, DC early in the morning. It was hard because Washington is one ...

... with sleeping bags and a tent, just in case, some sweet snacks, five ipods, and a car full of friends excited for St. George UTAH as that was the only place we were sure we were going. We drove along, stopped in vegas for a little taste of culture and as Phil would say, Vegas has every culture. We went for New York and I learned what gefilte fish is. We made it to St. George around 10 and snuck five people into a very small ...

... from being in the car all afternoon!! On my last night when all the other girls had headed back home, I managed to get myself a ticket to see Elton John at Caesars Palace. Being a very small venue and having a great seat in the rear orchestra it was a concert to remember. Am pleased to say Elton played all my favourite classics to end my very crazy and glitzy time in Vegas baby!
