Zion National Park has so many unbelievable hikes, it was difficult trying to pick which ones we had time to do in a week.  Linda and I took turns packing Tanis, and he was even able to do a complete one mile hike on his own.

We hit the park in July of 2002, not a likely time to be out on the trails due to the oppressive sun and baking heat.

After the first day of doing the Emerald Pools starting around 10:00 A.M., we decided in an hour of baking that we would be getting up nice and early to do hikes.  It was extremely hot and unforgiving.  Angle's Landing pathway zig-zagging up the cliff - Zion National Park, Utah

We packed 170 ml of water on every hike and was always empty by the time we finished.  I sweat at an unbelievable rate.  People have been known to be hit by my squirtying sweat at five feet away.  I can soak entire shirts, backpacks, ruin leather belts, shorts and socks.  I consider it "healthy and sexy."
