Our Summer Adventure at Havasupi AZ

So with Cam and I both working as crazy as we are this vacation has been the highlight of our summer, and HIGHLY anticipated. We went to Havasupi AZ and then went and spent a day in Zion.
This is right after we got down to the village in Havasupi (so we have gone the hardest 8, and only hav 2 more miles to go to the campground)

Havasu Falls Isn't it beautiful! The waterfalls down here made the hike so worth it!


The next day.....
This is the tunnel you had to hike through to get down to Mooney Falls, honestly it was so scary, the tunnel was ok, but then after that you had to climb down a sheer cliff (Angles Landing in Zion doesn't hold a flicker next to this decent) It was honestly like rock-climbing down a hill but with only a few little chains here and there to grab onto when you felt like you were plmiting to your death.



Take a look at that blister! Wowzer! and i actually had one just like it on the other foot. Needless to say that caused me a little bit of grief through the whole vacation, trying to find shoes to wear or a way to walk that wouldn't make me want to cry.

Playing in the falls was by far everyones favorite part! The water got really deep right after a falls so we spent most of our days jumping in and swimming around.


Time for a bath (if your a naturalist, you might want to skip this pic... probably wasn't the best thing for the environment ha ha)




Zions
This was on the hike up to Angel's landing pretty sweet!

Switch backs!


This view was KILLER!!!!


It was such a fun vacation! But by far my favorite thing was that I got to be with Cam for longer then 2 hours at a time!!!

looks like you guys had lots of fun. Wish we could have been there. Timing was just all wrong.. and btw they make a soap that is biodegradable so you can bath in the water...
