This is the sombrero that started it all... Nate didn't realize what he was getting himself into when I said I like to hike. On our first date he planned a short, hour or so hike; but when he mentioned that he liked the Kolob Arch hike, I jumped at the chance. I didn't have a hat, but Nate's roommate had jokingly left this in his truck. He probably wasn't serious when he offered it to me, but to me it looked like plenty of shade!
The hike ended up being about eight hours, and to say we weren't prepared is an understatement. We only had a couple of granola bars (but tons of water thank goodness), I got blisters and started walking in bare feet (this was even more fun when we saw the horse poop covering the trail), and finished hiking in the dark without a flashlight. Who knew there were other hikers as crazy as me???
This was one of my most favorite hikes :D It's always fun to be with someone who can joke and laugh when things go wrong.
