Day 36 - A Flash Flood is 'Probably' going to happen

A good friend had recommended a Zion hike called The Narrows - named for the fact that the hike is in a narrow slot canyon through a river.  It sounded amazing so we made sure to save time for it. 

Day 35 - Good morning Zion! (July 17th)

Each national park is unique and carries it's own superlatives. One could argue that Zion was the most beautiful but when it comes to organization, there is no debate, Zion takes the cake.

Day 34 - Hello Southwest Utah

Our plan of staying nearby to the entrance of Zion worked out great.  We were able to leave Mesquite at a reasonable hour, stock up on groceries and get to the park in time to secure a campsite.

Day 33 – Mesquite, NV AKA "Sin Village" (July 15th)

Joshua Tree was beautiful but I'd be lying if I said we weren't ready to leave the morning after we arrived! Here's why:

Day 32 - From the City to the Desert

Even though we only spent 2 nights in LA, we woke up feeling like we had spent a week in the city and were itching to get back to some nature.

Lauren and I woke up feeling surprisingly spry considering what we'd put our bodies through the night before.

Day 30 – downtown LA in a day (July 12th)

The next morning Lauren and I got some exercise paddle boarding in the harbor (so much fun!) and afterwards headed north to LA to stay for a couple of nights with my good buddy Gerald at his loft downtown.
