High Adventure Day 3 - The Narrows in Zion National Park

Day 3 of the High Adventure was the longest hike for Kelly, his varsity scouts and their leaders.  They hiked The Narrows in Zion National Park.  It's a 16-mile hike, most of it in the river.  Normally it's a beautiful hike with clearer water, but there had been so much rain that the river bottom was completely obscured by muddy water.  The hike was slower (eleven hours) due to the frequent slipping and tumbling over the unseen boulders and rocks and having to take things more slowly, but Kelly said it was still beautiful and very worth it.  

Oh, and this last shot is one of the items that hiked the narrows...a rain jacket plastered with dried mud from the water.  I won't mention what color Kelly's underwear ended up.  Hee, hee.
