Here we are at Zion NP, and I would have to agree with a friend that out of all the NP’s in Utah Zion was the most beautiful. Even the drive through a little town called Springdale just added to the trip. We did not enter through the Zion-Mt Carmel Tunnel. We were a little skeptical about the size limit as well as the fee. Zion has a great shuttle system just like the other parks. Once again you can see the differences between this park and all the others. We hiked to the riverwalk which is called the Temple of Sinawava, and hiked along the Virgin river to the beginning of the Narrows which is a hike through the river at the bottom of a narrow canyon. On this particular day the Narrows were closed because of a threat of flash flooding which happens quite often. As you can see in the picture I happened upon a “knot on a log” on the way so he joined me for the hike.(heehee) Also I did get a good picture of a deer walking around the visitors center like he was a tourist. The squirrels at the park seemed trained because every time they would approach a human they would stand up and beg. You can guess what people are doing and shouldn’t be. Zion was gorgeous and we would have had to stay for days to be able to see it all.
