Gearing up for Utah, Part 2



As we prepare for a trip to Utah to hike the mighty 5 national parks we thought, heck, we better dust off the hiking boots and hit the road.  Again, gym rats that we are, do not quite prepare us for our hiking adventures.  But it sure helps.

So here is a lovely day in Brazos Bend State Park putting in about 10 miles with the water hyacinth, a multitude of birds and even some gators along the way.  There are some canopy trails and some full sun trails.  And once again, several trails were temporarily closed due to prior rains and flooding that hit this area west of Houston really hard in the spring of 2016.  Glad to see the parks open and ready for us to take in the scenery.
This dude (or dudette) looked intimidating!

The water hyacinth was beautiful but we know all too well how aggressive and fast growing it can be. 

Perfect 80's kind of day to view this area from the viewing platform.

Beautiful, but personally I was looking for gators the entire time.
