Okay onto Zion. Zion was definitely a favorite. It was so beautiful there and it wasn't commercialized at all. It also wasn't huge so it didn't take us hours to get to where we wanted to go. The only problem with Zion was that the campground was first come first serve, and it was packed. It was Memorial Day weekend so everything around it was packed too! We found a hotel for the night though, and that was great because we could take long hot showers.

While on Zion we went on another amazing hike. Of course it was all uphill as usual and in some places it was incredibly windy. There were tons of switchback paths because it was so steep. The scenery was just amazing though, i dont even think pictures can explain some of the things we saw. When we got to the top there was another little section of a hike that was pretty much rock climbing. Kathy didn't want to go but of course Hillary and I were all about it, so we left our cameras with her and set off for a little while. We were under the impression it wasn't that far and the two of us pretty much ran up it. We were passing people left and right, it was a lot of fun. We got up to a point that we thought was the top and then realized that there was a lot more. We really wanted to go, but couldn't leave Kathy waiting that long so we reluctantly decided not to. It was depressing. We did find a rocky top to climb to the top and take some pictures. It was so windy that we had to sit down because we were afraid we'd get blown off.

Oh i have to go quick because i only have 3 minutes left. The next day we went horseback riding which was super cool. We took a 3 hour ride and I loved all of it. Some of them were horses and some were mules. I had a mule, and they had horses, but they were pretty much the same. It was really fun, I want to be rich and own horses haha. Okay we have to get going. We will write again soon!
