Zionism

Zionism is an interesting concept.  According to Wikipedia, it is defined as a Jewish nationalism that supports a Jewish nation in the land of Israel.  Of course, Mormons have their own form of Zionism, but the general public seems to be ignorant of it.

So what does that have to do with what I'm writing about?  Well, nothing.  But I did go to Zion over the weekend!  Zion National Park, that is. 


 Andrew made me pose for a ridiculous amount of pictures on our way up to the top of this cliff, "Angel's Landing."
 

After hiking through Refrigerator Canyon and climbing 21 switchbacks, affectionately known as "Walter's Wiggles," we reached the spine of the cliff.  And yes, we are about to hike to the edge of the spine where Andrew's hand is pointing.  I should also mention that since 2004, 6 people have died on this section of the hike.

Luckily, we didn't die.  Here is a splendid view overlooking the park!
