zion national park.
the narrows.

Posted on November 1, 2017by sarah

our final hike at capitol reef was into cohab canyon. derek was interested in this one, so we waited for him to finish working one day, and hit the trail. (the whole east coast 9-5 schedule has it’s benefits out here, even if he doesn’t think so when he’s starting work at 7am). like the […]
