Subway Slot Canyon- 9/2010

Zions NP: Subway Slot Canyon; Sept. 2010

This past weekend I had the great opportunity to hike the Subway Slot Canyon in So. Utah. WOW! What an amazing place. The hike took about 7 hrs and 10 miles through, pines, red rock, narrow slot canyons, very cold water and even a few dinosaur tracks.

Each spring this canyon is filled with rushing water, rocks, and mud, that carves a new channel.

There were many places that we had to rope up to get through.

This giant marble is lodged into the rock. During high water, you have to swim under the water to get past it. We just had to rope up and drop into the water.

YES THE WATER IS COLD! We wore wet suits and use water bags to keep our stuff dry.

This is my good friend Mark Meadows -he set Janelle and I up on a blind date... also the best man at our wedding.

Every good hike needs at least one "cheese cake photo"

-What a stud-

[or was that what a dud?]

Tyler Jacobs 1st time waterskiing...

Great Grandma Waite and Trev at Avery Martin's blessing.

Deanne was a trooper and brough 2 day old Trev to Avery's baby blessing. She's amazing!

Deanne had baby Trev last week, so to keep her other kids happy... Grandpa took us all boating! (Except Tracen, he was at his Aunt Jill's house :( ) The grand kids got brave with Grandma and went on the tube.

This is the ski that Tyler so amazingly skied on. He saw Caden ski on it and from then on he was determined to ski! So Uncle Shane jumped in the water with Ty to help him out. He told him, "You'll probably fall a few times and that's okay. We'll just keep trying!" First time he got up and skied all over the lake! Good Job Ty! He was so proud of himself that he could "skate ski". (That's what he calls it)

Baby Trev Jacobs finally arrived... Nate and I went to visit him in the hospital. Nate looked big enough to eat Trev! They grow so fast!

What a beautiful little baby! So sweet!

Nate's documented smile! He's so happy to have his cousin here with him!
