On our drive back from San Diego MK and I went through Zion National Park. We were unfortunately no where near dressed warm enough to do a big hike but took a thousand pictures from the car –
It was a beautiful spot and one we’ll probably go through again and camp and hike properly.

Those pictures are beautiful. I absolutely love the desert and mountains (and the west in general). I hope you guy get a chance to get out there again and properly explore.
We’re also in the process of getting a crazy awesome camera, it’ll be fun to go back and get even better shots.
