This is my first sunrise.
You might as well just be done with sunrises after this.
Like, you're never gonna see a more beautiful sunrise.
We're, like, the luckiest people

That would be dope.
Are you guys ready for some coffee?
Yeah!
Today has been unreal.

Awesome and super challenging.

I just saw the most unbelievable scenery.
It's like a hundred feet!

I ate the most unbeatable food.

I feel like we packed so much into the day.

I grew up surrounded by beautiful landscapes everywhere

was nothing near what I have seen
ever before in my life.

in the next couple of days.

Today, we go off to Zion.
Bye, camp.

'Cause there was a small chance of rain,
Mike and Kelly had to drive us in, like, these--
Four-by-fours, I don't even know what they're called.
Which was an adventure of itself.
We zipped our way through another epic view.
We go up these, like, dirt path roads,
your hair is blowing in the wind,
and it's just the best way
to ever be transported anywhere.
And, then, they take us to this magical clearing

ready to see camp?
And we have this amazing campsite.
It's beautiful here.

is put into these campsites.
This hammock is definitely where it's at.

This is a cool one.
It's ours.
These are my digs currently.
So, these are a little bit more spread out
than the ones at Bryce.
Kind of nice to just have, like,
you know, a little bit of space
apart from people who haven't showered in ten days.

This is awesome.
You have no cell service out here
and you have no Wi-Fi, which I really appreciate.

which is the most important.
Oh, my gosh, Anna, look at this spread.
Craig had all these snacks laid out.
Oh, my gosh, is that Brie?

Right off the bat, we should have sunscreen
going before we start.
Want to make sure that you guys all brought water...

...you brought snacks along,

Starting to gain some elevation.

because we're gonna have some fantastic views
-up at the top. -I think it's gorge.
It's like a literal gorge.
Wow!
See how the river cut this land.
-Yeah. -This is wild.
Your comfort is important to us on this hike,
being that it is gonna be a little more strenuous
than the ones we've been doing.
I'm gonna definitely replace a few cals this evening.
Just make sure that you're taking care of yourselves.
If you need to take a break, let us know.
We're more than happy to stop, you know, in a shaded area
and hang out for a minute.
That's a good place for a nap.

Oh, wow, it smells like butterscotch.

run and dive off a dock 50 times

I do belong up here.
