corona arch rope swingin'

"So I just go???"
- the last few words out of my mouth before yelling at the top of my lungs as I took the 100 foot drop below Corona Arch.

This was possibly the craziest thing I've done in a long time, second to skydiving when I was 18. My roommate and I hiked to the top of Corona Arch while a group of people were swinging, inspected the gear and riggings, and jumped. If Clint hadn't jumped first I probably wouldn't have tried it. He jumped without hesitation! I barely had time to start recording with my camera. After watching a couple people swing from the arch it seemed pretty safe, but somehow that hike back down to the canyon floor didn't seem so bad! But I just had to try it and I'm glad I did. Try everything at least once, right?

You'll love my facial expressions mid-flight.



Spring break has come and gone too fast! Braden and I originally went to Moab to volunteer for and run the Canyonlands Half Marathon and Clint came down to have fun and see some family. Saturday after the race we all decided to hike Corona Arch and ended up jumping off of it. I don't think I woke up race morning and said to myself, "I want to jump off a cliff today," but it was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Would I do it again? YES. 100%. It would be a lot easier the second time anyways. Sometimes I wonder if it ever gets old for some people, but I guess not, otherwise why are they still doing it? Whatever, call me an adrenaline junkie.

Hidden Valley

The last day of spring break we decided to go hiking (surprise surprise, right?) to Hidden Valley. As we were walking along the trail, Ivy pointed up to the rock face and said, "I bet we could climb up that crack and get on top...", so we did. It was awesome, we could see for miles!

Rainbows sure are tasty!

And here's another scorpion we found.

Spring Break

With confilicting school and college schedules, my spring break was kinda short, but it was fun! On Tuesday it was warm enough to go on a water hike, so we went to Negro Bill. After soaking everybody and catching some minnows, we headed to the Hazlett's to eat homemade pizza and play ultimate frisbee.

On Thursday we went with a group from out of town to Delicate Arch in the full moon.


Here's a cool Wind Scorpion I found on the slickrock!


Then on Friday I "helped" with the Boy Scout BBQ. Like my shirt? :D
