ZION CANYON NATIONAL PARK

Another park another place in Paradise! The Grand Canyon & Bryce Canyon you were at the top looking down but the Zion you're at the bottom looking up!!! The first canyons Dan & I would walk to a lookout point and be out of breathe!!! We finally realize it was because of the elevation average 7000 ft so Zion was a breeze!!

                                  Zion National Park established Nov. 19, 1919
                                                           146,592 acres

    Sheer cliffs dropping 3000 ft. Nineteenth century Mormon pioneers saw these      

                                  sculpured rocks as the "natural temples of God".

We took a hike(easy!!) to the Weeping Rock. The trailhead took us behind a curtain of water showering from the ceiling of an alcove. It felt pretty good since we got overheated from our hike!!

As you can see we have taken on rock climbing.

 That's me on top and Dan is trailing me!!!!NOT!!!!

Looking out from the Zion Lodge

Need to put your neck all the way back to see the top

Kolob Canyons on the north end of the Zions

                     Sheer cliffs of pale red sandstone lift more than 2000 ft into the blue sky.

                                            It's time to move on to Salt Lake City!!
