We woke at 6:30 am and enjoyed our final breakfast in the park. We packed up and hit the road by 9:00. When we hit the Salt Lake City area, we searched out In and Out and enjoyed two double-doubles, fries, and strawberry lemonade. We finally pulled up to the house at around 1:30 a.m.,… Read More Day 7: heading home
Today, we headed through the tunnel back to the park’s East side, but not without a long traffic line joining us. Once on the other side, we pulled over to explore a spot we hadn’t had a chance to visit before. As we started to hike around, we found beautiful rock formations created over the… Read More Day 6: Exploring East Zion
After a good night’s sleep and the sound of rain, we had breakfast and discussed plans for the day. Since it would rain all day, we rode the trails to the Temple of Sinawava again. It was fun to ride in the rain and enjoy being out in nature with a lot fewer people around.… Read More Day 5: bike ride in the rain
On our way back to camp, we stopped to revisit and explore a spot we had done years before. We hiked much further back into the canyon this time and had the perfect light for photos. We wanted to continue looking around but were losing the sun, so we headed back for dinner.
We were up and moving by 9:30 a.m., enjoyed breakfast with tea and coffee, and then headed off to today’s adventure: hiking to Observation Point. While at Phil’s, we discovered a few other hikes that would get us to one of our favorite Zion spots. We drove around to the backside and followed a trail… Read More Day 4: Observation Point (part 1)

We woke up at 7:30 am to get a ride with Augustine to the bus station in San Martin and got on the 8:35 bus to Mexico City. We had some traffic once we hit the city, but we allowed plenty of time just in case. Since we had a couple of hours to spare,… Read More Day 8: heading home
After breakfast, we wanted to go for a walk, so we headed to the park and walked like giants on the trails. We both noticed there were a few new features this time and ended up walking all the way to the end and found a museum that featured a marionette exhibit. It was small,… Read More Day 7: relaxing in Puebla
We woke up this morning at 5:30 am and took an Uber to the airport and by 7:00 we were all checked in and ready for our flight.

This morning we checked out of the Airbnb at 11:00 and headed for breakfast with a restaurant that had Pan, and it was delicious. We then walked around the area and explored.
