Zion Valley Walks

Today was our second day in Zion National Park. We slept in an extra half hour but I think we all could have used more. As we got to the entrance we found no line. The line for the shuttle was so short is was almost contained in the shaded pergola. Wow what a difference a day makes! We walked to the human history museum - a level one mile walk. We enjoyed the short film and exhibits before walking on to the next stop on the journey; Zion Junction. We hopped on the shuttle and rode it to Zion Lodge.

It was nearly noon so we had burgers for lunch and walked through the gift shop. The clouds moved in as we got to the lodge and looked like rain. It never rained outright but we decided not to do any long walk in case it did rain. We walked the trail to The Grotto and then got back on the bus. We started back towards the visitor center with a quick stop at The Patriarchs. Our last short walk was the Archeology Trail next to the visitor's center. Then is was back to the hotel and our car.Read more
