Home Again

I just got back from a Backpacking trip to Zion National Park. Neither Ash nor I have ever been in the backcountry there so we got to see something new. I have a few of my favorite pics below. Enjoy!








I had my first hitch-hiking experience on this trip. We were picked up by an 18-yr. old from Ogden on his way to check out U of Arizona for school next year.









I have been obsessed with the texture of old wood lately. We camped near an old cable for lowering timber to the canyon floor. It was beautiful!









I went backpacking as a field-trip for my wilderness nutrition course at school. I had to photograph all of my food before I went. This is my favorite meal and my favorite pic.









This is the old, opened seed pod of a yucca plant. The color inside was so fun and it was so fragile, I had to take a second look after I walked past.






A Hot Chocolate, Good Morning Cheers! always puts a smile on a cold face.
We camped with this view during sunset, full-moon rise, and sunrise. It was truly one of the most spectacular camping spots of my life.
