The Proposal...

Derek and Kristen started 2023 with a "wild hare" to plan a trip, and after some research, they landed on a national park trip throughout Utah for May of 2023. This trip included picking up a camper van in Las Vegas and travelling over 900 miles through 5 national parks finishing in Salt Lake City. We entered a lottery and were chosen to hike Angels Landing in Zion National Park the first morning of the trip. Angel's Landing is rated one of the most dangerous hikes in the nation, so there was some uneasiness and anticipation to make it to the top (including a special package Derek had tucked away in a secret pocket of his pack). After eating a picnic lunch and taking in the views, Derek set up his tripod and tricked Kristen into posing for a picture, while sneaking behind her and popping the question. They proceeded to spend the week facing their first test at forever, travelling the remaining hundreds of miles (and sleeping in a 12 foot camper van) while making unforgettable memories along the way.
