narrows

in

hiked the narrows in zion national park this past summer & did not enjoy it! the canyon is stunningly beautiful but hiking in water is not my cup of tea. twisted my ankle & fell in the water more than once.

“the narrows” are the narrowest section of zion canyon and the name refers to either the 3.6 mile bottom-up hike or the 16 miles top-down route. it is one of the most popular hikes in the national park.

two mondays spent driving through the west to/from utah with a 35mm point & shoot.

where the two shall meet

in

en route to the spiral jetty at the great salt lake, we stumbled upon golden spike national historic park. the park marks the place where the two halves of the first transcontinental railroad in the united states met and features two working replicas of the trains which met here on may 10th 1869.
