I always got lost on my trips, But I think they were very valuable venturesome experiences. I would rather get lost, if it’s such a beautiful place like Zion National Park!

Zach carried my camera in a dry bag within his backpack for most of the hike, and I picked a few key spots for photos (in conjunction with swimming or a water break). There were a LOT of spectacular shots I had to just relegate to memory instead of memory card. I carried the dry bag through the Subway itself, knowing I'd need quick access to it there. And yes, it was a pretty physical hike, but I was determined to take some of the beauty home with us, so I just anchored my elbows and snapped away! Travel Feeder,

It was gorgeous! Regarding the water... while it was clear, it was not designated as "drinkable". In a pinch, we'd have done so anyway and just dealt with the tummy problems later. The decision point came as we left the creek to climb back up the last mile or so in 100 + degrees Fahrenheit heat. We had enough for a couple of sips on the way, so we went for it with our remaining water. In responding to a comment on the last post (Part One), I mentioned a stranded group we encountered. Other members of their hiking party left them with a water purifier. -When you need more water than you can comfortably carry or encounter an unexpected delay, that sounds like a smart "back-up" to carry in your backpack!
