EP16: Venturing into the heart of Zion

On this episode we explore the backcountry in and around Zion National Park. We find ourselves alone and winding our way through desolate slot canyons, before Jenny tests herself on the exposed flanks of Angel’s Landing- will she make it to the summit?
And you’ll want to see what visitor unexpectedly joins us as we bushwhack to an unnamed mountain., Thanks for riding along!

What amazing views. America the Beautiful!!

[@somewhereyetnowhere]

Yes sir! Got to get out to see it...I say it all the time but pictures/video still can't capture it. It's beyond words.

[@oldmud]

So Cool !!! not sure i would want to make that Angel’s Landing trip. :)

[@somewhereyetnowhere]

It was pretty sketchy in some spots dude...but anyone who goes fishing 50 miles offshore solo for days could do this in their sleep. Hope you're well Mudd!

[@JackOConnell-fq6ob]

Really enjoyed this episode! How clos did Jenn get to the rattlesnake? What's up next?

[@somewhereyetnowhere]

She was nowhere to be found LOL! And that wasn't the closest one...about 5 seconds after I finished the shot Alan said "Um...Dan...you have one RIGHT next to your left foot".

[@somewhereyetnowhere]

Hahahah! I'll see what we can do!
