So before heading off on our EXTREME LUXURY CAMPING TRIP, we had an eventful morning. First, we first went for a nice hike up into the canyon. When we came back, one of the Alpacas was having a baby and I was able witness the birth of an Alpaca for the first time in my life. Unfortunately, this birth didn't go as most go. I learned that the Alpaca is suppose to basically dive out with its head and two front legs. This alpaca just had his head coming out so they actually had to go in and get his legs and pull them out. It looked very painful to the mother alpaca.
As we were watching the little new alpaca, we noticed that another alpaca was having contraction and about to give birth. I was able to watch this birth from start to finish. You'll notice from the picture that this alpaca came out with both its head and front legs. It was pretty amazing to witness!
After the eventful morning, we headed to Kingsman, Arizona. The drive was long but we listened to Silverfin to pass the time. After a nice swim at the pool, we went to sleep for the evening to get some rest for the exciting day to come.
In the morning we headed to Havasupai Indian Reservation. There are two ways to get here. You can hike 9 miles in or can take a helicopter ride in. We chose the cooler of the two options and took the helicopter in. Pretty amazing to see the Valley from up above.
We got to Havasupai, ate some food, got our bags to the Lodge, and then hiked down to the falls. They were AMAZING!!! Pictures don't even doing them justice. They were so fun to play in as well.
As you can see, we are enjoying ourselves. We went behind the waterfall and then dove out into it. Scary but fun.
The next morning we hiked to Mooney Falls. The hike there was incredible. You had to hike through caves and the decent was straight down. EXTREME!
Going down through the first tunnel.
You can't see the path we came down but it's straight down the ridge.
These are pictures we took in a nook behind the fall. We had to dive under this arch in a rock to get here.
We walked down the river and explored other smaller falls. You could often let the falls give you a ride down...better than any water ride at an amusement park!
On our hike back, we stopped at Rook Falls. This was a smaller fall but lots of fun because you could walk behind the fall and then just jump off the ledge into the fall.
Taking the helicopter back...She looks like she's having too much fun.
After spending a night in Vegas, we headed to one of my favorite places on earth...ZION's National Park. We did an amazing hike!
PINE CREEK
There were lots of repels and the water was cold but the surroundings were amazing!
Look at her repel!
The last repel was so amazing. You were free falling at first. Once you got going and were off the ledge it was amazing.
This was the Canyon we hiked...it was fun hopping from rock to rock and you almost felt like you were paving your own path.
We made it and there was no FLASH FLOOD! We sadly had to drive back to Mapleton, Utah after this and leave behind my favorite place.
