Hike 012: Mt Wilson Trail

My wife, a few friends, and I hiked the Mt. Wilson Trail to the summit today. It was awesome, but at the same time very strenuous and exhausting. After a long trek to the top, we grubbed down at the Cosmic Cafe, and then headed home. 9 hours and 15+ miles later we had successfully summited Mt. Wilson by foot. All the pictures we took on the hike are crappy cell phone pics... enjoy!

Hike 011 - The Bridge To Nowhere

Went on one of my favorite hikes today... the Bridge To Nowhere. 12 miles, 7 hours, 3 bighorn sheep, 3 snakes, and 1 sprained ankle later we finished the hike and returned to civilization.

Hike 005 - Angel's Landing, Zion National Park

We started out the trip with the sketchiest hike we could do... the infamous Angel's Landing. Although I wasn't as scared as I was when ascending Yosemite's Half Dome, the wobbly legs and vertigo factor were definitely in full effect. Definitely an all time great hike though!
