Weeping Rock

Weeping Rock is a famous landmark of Zion National Park and was our last hike in Utah. There is a large bowl-shaped alcove where the lower layer of sandstone has eroded away; water that has been slowly descending within the sandstone formations reaches an impermeable layer of rock and is forced out the side causing the "weeping."

The weeping walls form a beautifully lush hanging garden with a little flowing stream below. It felt like we were in a tropical location. The downfall was the large number of tourists that were experiencing it with us. Definitely one of the more crowded trails that we were on.

It was time to head home via a quick pit stop to Vegas. I will definitely be back here again some day.Read more
