Does this count? Is it blog worthy? Hard to say, but since Zyla hiked it, I think we can call it blog worthy. Plus, I mean, I never have been there, which is enough for me. We went out to Page, Arizona for our friend Jessie's wedding open house. Her husband seemed like a great guy and we were so happy for her. Her open house was in the evening, so we stayed in Page for the night. The thing to do in Page is to hike out to the Horseshoe Bend. I have driven by it numerous times, but never visited it. So this was the day.
We debated it a little bit because it would mess with the nap and lunch schedule, but we went for it. It started out straight uphill and then straight downhill. As soon as we made it to the top of the uphill, the view of the end of the trail was there. Zyla did well getting there as the downhill was easy for her. We had to hold her hand a bit, but she kept moving. At the point we enjoyed the view while Jacqueline remained paranoid about our kids running off the edge. She also reminisced a bit about being here 7 years ago with her mom. Then it was back up the hill. Immediately Zyla wanted to be carried. I was not in the mood to spend all day out here coaxing her up the hill, so I just carried her while Jacqueline carried Conrad. That worked out and when we were at the top of the hill, she was convinced enough to run down the hill keeping us ahead of the masses of tourists behind us.
