So many great photos! Here are my favorites. The first photos are from the Angel's Landing hike in Zion Canyon. Next we walked a few miles up the Virgin River into "The Narrows" and the next day we descended "The Subway." Then we hiked into another small slot canyon in Zion (Kanarra Canyon) and later drove to Bryce Canyon.
