    It seem like Marissa feels about her hikes like I'm sure she feels about your kids. You love them all but in different ways, because they are different. Keep the good stuff coming guys and give the kids a hug for me.

    Great video. At the age of 65 I hiked The Wave on July 11th of this year and did The Narrows the next day. What a great place.

    Southern Utah really has some astonishing landscapes. Not far from there, you can drive way high up onto a plateau that has the best ever overview of southern Utah. It's green and pastoral, lush with typical red rocks outcropping from it all, and a lake with RVers camping around it. It's not super well know outside of the locals.

    Zion has been on my bucket list for ages. My extreme vertigo prevents me from attempting Angel's Landing, but I could do the Narrows. I think I'd want to back-pack it top down, but would need someone to help carry my gear...I'm 70 yrs old and have a bad back and bad hip, so carrying a load over 10 lbs is a no-go for me. Hiking it with a small group or even one other younger, stronger person would be necessary. Great video, fuels my dreams.

    When thinking about water temperature, think about what the temp has been at night for the past few days. The water comes out of the shadows, isn't completly warmed until a oarticular time of the year, so 50 degree ambient isnt necessarily what the water temp is as you found out. The suit is a little extra weight and slightly bulky. It can't be goofy looking since we have seen you in other goofy outfits and situations. Great job. You survived.
