DAY 61

Rest Day - Zion National Park

Zion is renowned for it's world-class hikes so we do another, The Narrows, which is a hike through a slot canyon, in the Virgin River, walking in the ice-cold water (sometimes knee-deep) as the canyon 'narrows' to only about 5 metres apart overhead in some places. The walls of the canyon have been made smooth and sculpted over millions of years of waterflow, the water almost a perfect aqua in places, sunlight makes its way to the bottom only infrequently. It's needless to say it's a very unique walk, it's also very fun and very very cold. 

Most of the other hikers are decked out in booties and wetsuit/waterproof materials. Us? Nah. Try runners and shorts. Although we both finish 4 hours of it completely numb after "playing with hypothermia, man", as one decked out hiker put it, it's one of the coolest things we've ever done, pardon the pun.
