Our trip to Zion National Park today was spectacular. Our whole group conquered the Lower, Middle, and Upper Emerald pools trail and the trail between the Lodge and the Grotto - I can't remember the name. A group of 12 of us then ascended to the top of Angel's Landing. It was an incredible hike - Barry led us to the very top - about 1600 feet of elevation gain in 2.5 miles with some good exposure all around. I've got pictures from this, but they are on the big camera and I will have to try to get them uploaded tomorrow.
We celebrated Stephanie Yassa's birthday today and got on the road to get to Las Vegas - the time-zone change was very helpful for us as it gave us an extra hour to get into our site on time - it will not be so friendly on the way back.
Arriving in Las Vegas / Henderson / Lake Mead we found our location with no problem and were greeted by very excited Youth Works staff. We've been busy all evening getting unpacked, having a club session (our time with the whole group where the YW staff lead us in singing and a time of worship. Our theme for this week is "Be Different" and is based on Luke 6:27-36. Lights Out was at 11:00pm and I snuck away to update you guys on our trip. I'm gonna go get some sleep because morning will come very soon. We've arrived at our destination and everyone is healthy and safe!
Hope to have some students sharing a bit about what they have learned later this week.
