Our First Spring Break
For our first spring break together we went with Jon's cousin Quin and his wife Bryn, to Saint George to go camping in Snow Canyon. I always forget how amazing the red rock looks on a bright sunny day with the sky as blue as can be. We had lots of fun taking hikes and rock climbing. We hiked Angel's Landing the first day. It was incredible. Some places we had to hang on to chains strung along the mountain side in order to get up. Being so close to the edge of such a long drop always gives me the wierdest feeling. Like my head is detatched from the rest of me and I always want to take a jump off. Not suicidal, just to feel the wind in my hair and rushing along my skin. But the desire isn't strong enough to induce me to go sky diving! No, I leave it up there on the cliffs.
This trip was my first time doing some real rock climbing. I had done a tiny bit before, but more repelling since the sites I was at before were WAY beyond my skill as a beginner. But I really enjoyed it and Jon was a good and patient teacher.
On our way home we stopped at Cove Fort. And, like every spring break since I started college, it snowed on the way back to Cache Valley. Gotta love the Valley!
