Zion National Park Springdale, UT



On the way to Zion ~ looks like rain, but didn't get any!

 We camped on the park grounds.



Very nice park.



The view from our campsite :)



The Three 'Patriarchs': Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.


Beautiful canyon.


             Weeping Rock  - see Sarah?                                                     



Then came 'The Riverwalk' and 'The Narrows'

The first mile is a nice path, mostly paved ~ then the rest of the hike is in the Virgin River.  The river flows through the bottom of a deep, narrow gorge. It is sandy and rocky - and absolutely beautiful!


Sam and Sarah leading the way down 'The Narrows'.  

It is ranked as one of the top 5 hikes in the US!


Pictures just don't do it justice...


Another great hike - round trip about 6 or 7 miles.
