The Return to Zion then the Journey back to Vegas

Las Vegas Travel Blog › entry 6 of 6 › view all entries

Making good on a promise of better meteor shower viewing to Jenn and Tracy during our Palms Springs weekend together we unknowingly did a test drive of the "BIG CHILL" meetup I'm proposing for June 2009. This was a PERFECT weekend of hiking, bonding, stargazing and storytelling amongst old and new friends brought together thanks to Travbuddy!

The Return to Zion then the Journey back to Vegas

So again with only a few hours of sleep we spring up Sunday morning, check out of the Lodge make a group decision as to whether to go eat breakfast or go back to Zion for more hiking....Yeahhh!! it was unanimous...Zion part Deux!  Breakfast consisted of eating Beef Jerky, gas station convenience store coffee and assorted left over snacks from the night before.  Soon enough we were back in the park and taking the shuttle bus to go on the Riverwalk hike so we could take in some more breast-taking scenery and see the start of the Narrows hiking trail!

In true TB fashion we turned the hike into yet another fun photoshoot.  We got to the end of the riverwalk hike and BiG and Nih decided to hike into the Narrows for a bit.  The time was slipping past us quickly and Jenn had a long drive back to LA so RJ and Tracy set out to reel our strays back in!  After a short while our stragglers returned and we were soon off to Vegas after one last look at the awesome beauty of this place. We all knew there was no choice but for us to do a repeat extended version of this trip next year...Angel's Landing and The Narrows beckon us!
