THE SUBWAY

My brother got 12 tickets for anyone in our family to hike the Subway (a zion's canyon hike).  I have wanted to do this since high school, and I wasn't disappointed! It was seriously the most fun I have had while being in the out of doors!!  There are a lot of pictures so enjoy perusing them!

My mom and the grandkids that made the hike.  They all did great.  I have to say, I hope I am as tuff as my mom at 65!  She was awesome..  and as you will see, it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done!!

Parts of the hike required you to swim in water that was over your head.  I fortunately had a wetsuit jacket my brother loaned me.

The great headshot of me on the left is so you can be spared of my pregnant swimsuit body!  SCARY.

Lots of places we walked through water..

Scaled the slick rocks with big drop offs below..

Repelled to places safer to walk..

And the scenery was amazing!!  As you can see, this was definitely the hike for Taylor... All the water just made him happy to be there -- even though he doesn't like hiking.

Check out the view!

This is where Taylor thought it would be a good idea to slide down -- a very bruised tailbone later, I think he would second guess that bright idea.

The final stretch was straight up the mountain -- but we all made it with only a couple minor injuries!!

I am so lucky to have such knowledgeable brothers.  I felt totally safe in their supervision.  We could never have done it alone so Thanks to Lonny and Kirk for making it such a fun day!!  And thanks to Aunt Heather and Grammie Nadauld for watching our boys so it could happen!
