Spring = More Hiking!

We've been doing a lot of hiking recently. And by recently, I mean over the last month.... But here's an update of what we've been exploring recently:

Night hike at the Windows Section in Arches Nat'l Park.


 Jeep Arch. A friend of mine wanted to go on a hike during her Spring Break. We got in the truck, grabbed the dogs, and found Jeep Arch. I thought it was fitting since we went during Jeep Safari. (It was fun driving in the truck, and seeing the kind of reaction guys gave us.) Thanks Christa!


 We finally found Cable Arch! It took three attempts, but we succeeded in the end. If you want to hike to Cable Arch, ask us for directions. It's not super tricky to find....if you're looking in the right place. (I got to use my first scrambling skills of the season!)


 Fisher Towers. This was down the river a bit. It was a beautiful drive and worth the time getting there. At this sight, there is a camp ground and a few trails to follow. There is also opportunity for scrambling, which we took!


  Our first friends in Moab recently moved back. He has a job as a zip-line guide. They are still training and ironing minor details out. They had a friends and family day, and we were lucky enough to go. For free! It was a super windy once we got to the top of the fins.  This is us trying to show how windy it was:


We zipped five lines, two of them were a quarter mile long. Pretty cool. The first quarter miler was the windiest. Because of the wind, we were all pushed along a bit faster on the line and all of us had a hearty push back when we got to the break. (I bumped my nose on my arm. One week later, I still have a lovely bruise on my arm! My blood will forever bee immortalized at the end of that line.) Totally fun and worth hanging out in gusty winds for three hours! Thanks Hunters!
