These are from the checkerboard Mesa hike. We only hiked 2 miles up, and 2 down, but there was a 880 foot gain in elevation.
This is the boys and Brother Kirby. This is about the half way point. You can kind of grasp the sheer climb we had by the slot canyon walls to the side.
Here's Kirbs putting on his Napoleon "I've conquered all" pose.
The boys before the last ascent to the top, havin fun.
The Top finally! The object of the hike was to gain this plateau and be able to see the Great Arch of Zions. You can kinda see it in the distance.
The next day was the narrow's hike. The boys putting on their best poses. You'll see this them repeated.
