Aged is appropriate. I know I feel a bit older.Quote:

From this weekend. We hiked the entire ~11 mile loop Devil's Playground in Arches NP. That was one awesome trail. Lots of rock to climb, some elevation gain, some sand. We're tired now, but we had a great time!

Nice photo. :2thumbs: It sure is a great trail isn't it? I have been taking my kids on that loop (Devils Garden/Primitive Loop) ever since they were four years old and it always brings back memories. Ironically, we have never done it when it's dry like that, but only when it is covered in snow and ice.Quote:

The kids have tired of the trail (for now at least), but I never do since it has such great continuous scenery. I have been doing that loop since I was at least five, so it has been 36 years now! My dad still does that trail now that he is in his mid-70's. Last time the steep pitch was covered is wet sand and ice, so we tied all our jackets together to help him up.

We had all already hiked to Delicate Arch that same day, so it made a great day. My Grandmother and Grandfather hiked that same loop into their 80's and I hope I'm still doing the same.
Great place and trail! :2thumbs:

Anyway, rides at Lagoon or Disneyland are scarier than skydiving for me. Hahaha. And I'm sure Bungee jumping would be the same.... :Nono:
I didn't find bungee jumping scary (though the one we did in Guatemala and only had an 82 foot drop, so higher would probably be scarier), but I also didn't find it enjoyable. My nine year old daughter had to do it three times, but once was enough for me. It popped my back, which wasn't good before a big backpack. I don't have much desire to do it again.
The Verzasc dam jump is listed at 721 feet, one of the highest bungee jumps in the world! I'm guessing 3-5 secons of freefall before you start to feel the bungee deceleration, which is pretty gradual. You pendulum 4-500 feet and the rebound is 250 to 300 vertically. It didn't feel that high as the rebound occurs as you swing so isn't as noticeable as a straight up and down bounce. The guide said to jump out as far as posible to get the most pendulum swing for the best ride..said not to think of it as jumping, to think of it as flyng! Regardless... it was quie a rush!!! Google 007 Bungee Jump an you will get a lot of videos of this dam. It is the jump from the start of Goldeneye.. the reason it's called the 007 jump.
There's a reason my trail name - despite my protestations - is "Inspector Gadget":

Keep in mind, a "very difficult" trail in Florida means an easy one in any other state with mountains.
