I would definitely pick this hike over Angel's Landing in Zion National Park, because I like a good LONG hike with LOTS of uphill, and this one has it!! This hike is 8 miles long and 3-4000 ft high. We started out the hike in snow! Someone made this cute Snowman along the way.
This is still the beginning of the hike, and as you can see the trail is covered in Snow, it wasn't bad because it was not packed down too much to make it slippery.
The snow makes it beautiful along the way, and it is hard to not feel like a kid again.
This is the trail still covered in snow, going through the canyon, if you look closely, you will see hikers, that is where the trail is heading!:)
After we got halfway, MUCH of the snow had melted, and we did make it up to the top!!
Jeannette was planning on doing this hike her very last week (next week), because it is the hardest one, but she did AMAZING. I would be very surprised if she didn't do both Angel's Landing and Observation point next week, she has gotten so strong the short 3 weeks she has been here!!
Once again the canyon on the way back
The snow was a little tricky by the water, we certainly did not want to fall through the ice and get our shoes wet! We made it without wet feet!:)
This is a great pic where you can see the top of Observation Point and be proud of what you did!
Coming down was a little tricky, but fun!:)
We had snow all the way back down to the bottom. It was a beautiful day, and a beautiful hike!!
