Video from Angels Landing

Just wanted to add the video I put together from our Angels Landing hike. Check it out:

Angels Landing

You know summer is arriving in southern Utah when you can go on a hike without having to walk through snow. A few of us decided to tackle one of the more scenic, and death defying, hikes in Zion National Park, Angels Landing. That's one of the benefits of having an outdoors section in our newspaper, we can go on spectacular hikes and call it work.

View from the top, definitely worth the burning legs:



Here's what you have to hike up to get to that view (Our reporter, Ryan Dionne, is actually heading back down in this shot):



Here I am hanging on for dear life on the way up:



Here's Ryan hanging on a few feet from the edge, notice the road a few thousand feet down:



Ryan hanging out on top, gotta love his "Delicate Arch" socks:



Luckily I was there to tell Ryan he had a water pack on, not a parachute:



Even from the parking lot you can capture a surreal scene:

Engagement Session at the Beach

Here's a few shots from an engagement session with Stephanie and Lawrence at Huntington Beach, California. To view more photos from this session, click here. A beautiful couple, a beautiful beach, and a beautiful sunset....I couldn't have taken a bad photo if I tried.
