|
|
So we have passed on line many times....
Bo... Courtney and myself....
We finally met and he brought his girlfriend! ... and he took us on quite the adventure..... toward Bridge Mountain... but to a peak summit instead. There was lots of snow, bighorn sheep, climbing, sliding and fun and most of all --- a peak bagged. This is what Courtney does... Peak Bagging.
Fun day in Zion and another new place explored. :nod: |

Looks like you had a great adventure. We were up on the East side and it was so nice! Looks like you've got your work ahead, Tanya. Pictures are great, love the Bighorns.

I have never been called a trail bunny before. :haha: Thanks :)
It was so COLD... but we had on layers of hitech clothes so ... at least I only felt it on my face, ears and toes. The rest of me was toasty warm and I even lost a lot of those clothes on the return hike. |

If you go to the east side around Keyhole Canyon, you'll generally see some sheep. Also around the east end of the tunnel is another congregating place! :nod: |
