Avant-avant-hier nous somme allés au Parc Zion. Je vais vous parler d'une balade que nous avons faite dans le fond du canyon. Ce canyon était rigolo car plus on avançait, plus ça se resserrait. À la fin on ne pouvait plus aller plus loin sans mettre les pieds dans l'eau de la rivière. Ce canyon était très profond.

Kind of wearing out. If we did this trip again, I'd do it in reverse. Feel like Zion is getting short shrift - didn't think twice about a three mile hike in the beginning. Less energy for sure now. Not ready to stop seeing neat things, but ready to go home at the same time. Wish I had built in a 'down day,' although I don't do nothing very well, so I'm at a loss as to what that would exactly look like. A nap for sure!

Arrived Zion around noon. Going through the Mt. Carmel Tunnel - built in the 1920s, they have to flow it one lane at a time due to big vehicles. Parking in Springdale was a challenge. Ate lunch in the RV, then caught a shuttle up to the park. Made a couple of shuttle stops, hiked up to Lower Emerald Pools. Enjoyed a nice respite in he shade of a gigantic oak in front of the lodge, followed by cool treats.

Neat thunder storm in the early evening on our way out of the park. Rainstorm with flash flood warnings. Stopped for giant burgers before heading to our campsite for an early bedtime.

We took a little detour on our way to Zion and spent a couple of hours in Kanab, Utah having lunch, browsing some shops and getting coffee. The drive into the park was mind boggling! The rock cliffs are mammoth!

The view from our cabin is amazing!Read more

Hike to Scout Lookout
November 5, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
This morning was the most ambitious hike we've taken yet. Two miles of upward climbing for a total ascent of 1,070 feet! What a view once we made it to the top. In some of the pictures you can see people on the trail high above and below us.

After lunch we visited the Zion History museum , the visitor center then relaxed at the lodge patio with coffee and pie, soaking in the 72 degree sun and admiring the surrounding magnificent sheer cliffs.Read more

The Narrows
November 6, 2016 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
This was one of the most amazing hikes we've ever taken! A one mile hike along the Virgin River then about three more miles IN the river going upstream. Some of it was along the banks because the water level was low. But often we we knee deep going against a strong current.

The cliffs on either side of us were incredible. They were so high that we couldn't get the whole scenery in one picture. We rented water shoes, neoprene socks, water pants and walking stick. It kept us warm and fairly dry.

After eight miles and five hours we were dead tired, but very happy we had this adventure!Read more

Day10
Rainy day in Zion
October 6, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
It was raining all day, so we didn't want to do any big hikes like Angels Landing. We took the shuttle to Zion Lodge, a short hike to Lower Emerald Pool (path to Upper Emerald Pool was blocked by a rock slide), then a walk to the view point for the Court of the Patriarchs, which are 3 mountain peaks, and then took a walk along the river back to our campsite.
Hoping we will have better conditions tomorrow.Read more
