Vacation day 2

Hurricane to Zion national park 25. Since I was in a bed and didn't have far to ride I decided to sleep in. With the sleep schedule I'm on the latest I could manage was about 830. I lounged around for while then headed out to find a breakfast spot. I went to a place right across the street and what do you know a breakfast buffet. I ate two heaping plates of food. Pancakes, biscuits and gravy, chicken fried stake, bacon, sausage, and a few doughnuts. I was stuffed. I had to go back and lay down before I started riding. The 25 miles didn't take long but it was in the hot noon Sun so I was sweating buckets. When I got to Zion the first thing I did was go talk to the people at the two gear shops about what hike I should do. I decide on two angels landing and the narrows. These are zions two classic
Hikes. Angels landing is 5 mi round trip but 1600 elevation gain. the narrows is a hike up a river in a huge canyon. For this one you need a wet suit and river shoes. After setting up my tent I went to grab a quick biteand then go rent all that stuff. So my plan is to crush out the angels landing hike then go do an out and back in the narrows. I'm now just laying by my tent enjoying the view and waiting to get hungry again. I'm gonna go grab dinner then call it an early night so I am well rested for my last day of bike tour vacation.
