It's that time of year again - when Dani gets 3 days off work! and we go to Zion.
We are going to throw these pictures in non-sequitur fashion.

Our original plan was to backpack the South Fork of the Virgin River - AKA "The Barracks".
However, rain was in the forecast - so we snagged backcountry campsite # 13 near La Verkin Creek in the Kolob area of the park.

Campsite #13 is the second to last on the La Verkin creek trail. We spent two nights here with Katie and Tyler.
When it rained we played cards in our make shift shelter, but the rain never really came like the weather people said - so we were graced with showers and sunshine.
We saw some Tarantulas and another insect called the "Jerusalem Cricket" - which is absolutely terrifying. Unfortunately - I can't find the photos of the cricket - so I snagged one from the interweb.

Oh Yeah! before we started our backpack we spent 1.5 days in the Kolob Terrace area of the park camped at Lava Point - and explored the North Gate peaks area.

Forward in time back to La Verkin creek. We explored the upper headwaters of La Verkin and Willis Creek.
Waterfall - as far as we could go up Willis Creek.
