Guide to Planning a Trip to Antelope Canyon

Guide to Planning a Trip to Antelope Canyon

Zion National Park – Hiking and Camping

Zion National Park – Hiking and Camping

Omg, so Zion National Park holds a very special place in my heart because it’s the first National Park Chase and I have ever been to. We were so excited for our van/hiking trip and had no idea we were about to see Mother Nature working her magic. There are massive red rocks and cliffs surrounding you with every step of the hike you take. We saw snow, sun, running water, and a ton of different plants… that I wasn’t expecting to see in SNOW! Hello, cactus? When I was reading about Zion, I found out that over 100 years…
