hikes in april
april 17 pa’rus trail, 3.5 miles, ~2 hours bc we stopped to look at ants! otherwise, active time was 20 mph pace. very good family hike and nice weather
april 18 bryce canyon, queens arch, sunrise to sunset rim; ~3 miles total, casual 23 mph pace. trails were icy and not that paved, and the ones that were better paved were pretty busy sadge. views were fantastic!
april 20 arches, various hikes: ~5miles total in the day, very casual 25 mph pace. chose the small hikes, very family friendly and able to see a ton of arches in one day (: we also got a late start and were still able to make time to go back and see the stars! gonna learn constellations hehe
april 29 local peak, 7 miles ~28 mph uphill (2,000 ft elevation!), ~24 mph downhill (mobbin). a workout!! not family friendly and not much shade. the trail is not primitive, but very rocky so boots are a must.
