Our march through Orderville Canyon

This last weekend some friends and I drove down to Zion National Park and hiked Orderville Canyon. It was about a 12-mile hike and it took us a good seven hours.

The hike was absolutely beautiful. We made our way through narrow slot canyons, over waterfalls, around boulders and logjams and finally down the virgin river to the public park area. I can honestly say it was one of the funnest hikes I've ever done. Right up there with the Subway.

I will say, though, I'm still sore.

Here are some pictures I took of our trip:
