coffee hut is so good!&#160; Zion it is.&#160; It was a little cold still for the Narrows, so we tried out Kolob Canyons in the northwest side of the park.&#160; It delivered everything:&#160; deep blue sky contrasting the red rocks, a winding creek, wonderful air, trees for climbing, threats of mountain lions (who doesn&#39;t want a little suspense?)...&#160; </p><p>All over another amazing hike with <a href="http://sutherland.vox.com/">Kris</a>.<br /><div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3e650002 6a00c22525b2fb549d00e398efd1760004 6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48d0cf9550001 6a00c22525b2fb549d00e398efe1190005 6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee4c900003 6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3e410002" at:format="strip-horizontal" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-strip enclosure-strip-horizontal" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style=" margin: 5px; border: 1px solid; text-align: center;"><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3e650002.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="From under the Kolob Arch"><img src="http://a5.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3e650002-120pi" alt="From under the Kolob Arch" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00e398efd1760004.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="70 degrees and shin deep in snow"><img src="http://a6.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00e398efd1760004-120pi" alt="70 degrees and shin deep in snow" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48d0cf9550001.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="Ah, spring"><img src="http://a5.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48d0cf9550001-120pi" alt="Ah, spring" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00e398efe1190005.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="IMG_1247"><img src="http://a1.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00e398efe1190005-120pi" alt="IMG_1247" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee4c900003.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="IMG_1244"><img src="http://a0.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee4c900003-120pi" alt="IMG_1244" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3e410002.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="IMG_1240"><img src="http://a1.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3e410002-120pi" alt="IMG_1240" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a></div> </div> <!-- end enclosure --> <br /><div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00c22525b2fb549d00e398efd16e0004 6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee4c9c0003 6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3e5a0002 6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee4c950003" at:format="strip-horizontal" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-strip enclosure-strip-horizontal" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style=" margin: 5px; border: 1px solid; text-align: center;"><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00e398efd16e0004.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="Flowers"><img src="http://a6.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00e398efd16e0004-120pi" alt="Flowers" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee4c9c0003.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="Cabin, luckily not where we slept"><img src="http://a4.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee4c9c0003-120pi" alt="Cabin, luckily not where we slept" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3e5a0002.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="Tree climbin'"><img src="http://a2.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3e5a0002-120pi" alt="Tree climbin'" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a><a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee4c950003.html" class="enclosure-strip-link" title="His new favorite pair of Keens"><img src="http://a5.vox.com/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee4c950003-120pi" alt="His new favorite pair of Keens" class="enclosure-strip-image" style="margin: 5px; border: 0;" /></a></div> </div> <!-- end enclosure --> </p><p><br /> <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://monkeykat.vox.com/library/post/kolob-canyons.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c22525b2fb549d00f48cee3ee80002?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> zion kolob canyons
