This map shows the trail we took to Observation Point |
It took us about 4½ hours to hike the 8 miles roundtrip with a lunch break |
Starting out at 10:00 am |
Who forgot to shovel the path? It was slick! |
Looking towards Castle Dome |
Heading into Echo Canyon |
Karen and Kent move along the trail |
Cool Slot Canyon |
Fall leaves turns into winter |
A unique opportunity to have our picture taken.....thanks Karen! |
Yes, that is quite a dropoff |
We are ascending higher as we go |
At this point you have a few options, we went straight |
Spring is starting to appear along the canyon walls |
We have arrived at Observation Point. Looking south towards Springdale and looking down on Angels Landing |
We gained 2200 ft. in elevation |
The trail we followed part of the way up |
Lunch break.....yum! |
Heading back down into Echo Canyon |
The snow and ice are melting in this 70 degree weather |
Looking back to where we were.....wow what a fun hike! |
