Day 3
Zion Valley Walks
May 30, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
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

Day 3
East Zion
May 30, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
We drove out through the east tunnel and side of the park. The tunnel was a wonderful feat of engineering. We had been told to look for Big Horn Sheep as you exit the tunnel and, sure enough, on an outcrop of rock just outside of the tunnel were three sheep. They were posed for tourists - if only we had a place to stop and take a picture. The terrain on the east side was completely different than in the canyon. It was curved and swirled sandstone with layers and waves. It was a fairly tale landscape. We stopped at a few overlooks and took pictures but it was cloudy and they won't look nearly as impressive as reality. At one stop we got out and walked into a canyon a little way. It was open but changed and became narrow winding path. We walked above it because it was full of water and quite deep. It made us want to keep exploring.Read more

Day 630
Trail Ride Thru Zion
October 4, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Decided to do something a little different now that we have hiked through most of the national parks, and signed up for a 3-hour trail ride instead. My horse Murphy and Brice’s Sundance were both well cared for, mellow and certainly loved being near each other.

It was a dusty ride, but amazing views, especially from trails we wouldn’t go on otherwise, and we even spotted lots of deer. Our guide may have been a bit obnoxious but he did keep things entertaining.

Overall it was a lovely day and fun change up from all the hiking.Read more
Traveler Nice shot! Great view.
