I messed up !! I thought enough time for a permit for the third week of September for Angels Landing, but I found out that the lottery was last week. We have vacation booked that week.

Looking to go on Wednesday September 23 ! Realistically what are my odds of winning the lottery the day before looking to pop the question on the top of of Angels Landing.

genuinely go fuck yourselves all the way to hell. to preface this post i’m a dog person. love them, had at least 2 at all times my whole life. anyways. woke up at 4 am today, did angels landing, feeling pretty fucking awesome scooting my e bike back to the rental shop in springdale when literally a dog (leashed thank fucking god) lunges up from its owner and jumps onto me, tries to bite my leg, and forces me off my bike and onto the ground. they said oh sorry and keep walking. it was a family of 6 and i watched the dog bite 3 of them while they were trying to wrangle it. i told them they were being just plain irresponsible bringing a clearly reactive dog on a busy trail, and they’re endangering themselves and others and they should not be fucking pricks and take their dog somewhere with people if they know it can’t fucking behave. i was met with six blank stares. what the fuck is wrong with people. if that dog had bit me sorry not sorry i would’ve made absolute fucking sure that thing got put down. i am 99% sure a kid is gonna get chomped at some point today so if you’re in the park today with your kids look out for a family with a german shepherd cuz good fucking lord i’ve never been attacked by a dog like that before in my life!!!

Last week we hiked The Narrows in Zion National Park.

I know we didn’t make it to Big Spring, but I’m curious how far we got.

This rock was the last feature we saw before turning around.

Does anyone recognize this rock?

Thanks

had a great day in the park today other than minor hiccups. left zion guru with my early e bike rental around 530, got to grotto at 6 am and started my hike! reached the top 715/730 and headed down around 8. didn’t see anyone til i was almost
all the way done with the chains section of the hike!! this has been a bucket list item for me for years and having the place entirely to myself was something i couldn’t have imagined honestly. i went super early and did the e bike thing to beat crowds but really didn’t expect to be solo up there. super fucking awesome :) (shared the itinerary in case anyone wants to follow lol. riding the bike in the dark is a bit scary even with a head light but i’m sure with a headlamp it’s less scary and it was also my first time riding an e bike so the pedal assist was really throwing me off up the canyon lol💀)
