Day Twenty-Eight - Wallstreet

The following morning I spent in Zion as well. I got up quite early and was the first one to start walking in the river bed up in the canyon. One has to walk in the water as the canyon gets so narrow that there is no path on the side. This place is potentially quite dangerous as floods can fill up the canyon so fast that one would not have time to back up - see a photo with a sign explaining the danger of floods. I walked 3 hours up in the canyon and then back. One could walk through the whole canyon but will need to camp overnight (and a camping permit correspondingly). In fact on my way up I met a person coming from the other side who had done exactly that.

So far you are probably wondering about the funny title of the post. Wallstreet is the name of a particular part of the canyon where the walls are so narrow and straight, hence the name.

Day Twenty-Seven

Following day I moved on from Arches, it was Zion's turn. I got to Zion just on time to climb Angel's landing and see the sunset from the top ... Angel's landing is a quite unique experience. It's one of the highest points in the Zion canyon and in the last part of the climb one has to hold on to metal chains attached to the rock. And this last part was not as short as I though before the climb. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of me hanging from one of those chains - as you can imagine I was busy hanging on to the chain ...
