Utah

I returned from my trip last Saturday.  For those who have poor memories and are too lazy to scroll down to the pre-trip post, my buddies and I spent eight days hiking in Utah and then drove to Vegas for two days.  We hiked at the following National Parks: Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon and Zion.  It was definitely tough--60 miles total, and two hikes that featured elevation changes of 2,200 feet and 1,500 feet.  Here are my favorite parts of the trip:

I kid, sort of.  It was actually one of the best things I have ever done.  The scenery was great, we had a blast hanging out together and I am quite proud of the physical accomplishment.  I didn't think I would be able to keep up (read: I was still the slowest,) but I did.  It was awesome.  Sadly, I lost my double chin somewhere in Bryce Canyon, but I am sure it will find its way home soon enough.

Also, let the record show that PEOPLE HAVE DIED on our hikes in Zion (Observation Point and Angel's Landing.)  We don't mess around.
