Just wanted to check in and say "Hi". My wife and I live about 20 miles from Zion and try to visit once a week. We like to hike, a little exploring, go out with our Rubicon and I like to photograph the area.
At 62, I doubt I'll be doing any climbing but I do enjoy day hikes and will be doing some backpacking in the future.

Welcome aboard! 62 means nothing, the last time I met a 60+ couple coming down from Observation point, I asked them how much further it was. They told me it took them another 45 mins and it should take me 20-30 mins to the top......
My wife and I swore at the couple 3 hours later when we finally reached the top! So age doesn't mean anything in my book hehehe.
Hope you enjoy the site! :2thumbs: |

Is Dr. Larsen still around? He was my favorite teacher when I went to SUU. He lived there and since I was a biology student he took our class to see his rather wild yard. |

Thanks for the welcome, folks. This site looks like it will be alot of fun!
I've heard alot of of plays on Toquerville, but that's a first! Usually having to do with something from my misguided youth.
Tanya, never heard that name but I'll ask a friend that's like the "Mayor". Still a small town despite all the building!
I always see "seniors" just cruising along. They're my heroes, I hope to retire some day and be in that kind of shape. Right now, working gets in the way of everything fun!

I agree. The most famous (infamous?) hiker in Utah is 63. My dad is 62 and still goes with us. My grandmother climbed Mount Sinai in her early 80's.
Good luck. :2thumbs: |
