Zion National Park

Last week was our Fall Break so we had Thursday and Friday off from school. We packed up the car and made the 5-hour trip south to Zion National Park. It was bea-uuuuu-ti-ful! The weather could not have been better, either--sunny and 80 degrees. Even though we took a lot of pictures, they just don't do it justice. What a spectacular place!

On our way to the hotel, we stopped and did a 1-mile hike at the north entrance of Zion National Park.

There were mule deer all over.

feeling the wet (weeping) rock...

Only a part of the hike was on land. We crossed the Virgin River about 5 times before it got too deep for us.

This was where the hike got a little too deep. We watched a few people go ahead and it was above their waists.

After crossing the river a few times, your legs were so cold you really couldn't feel much anymore.

The colors were so vibrant!

Yay! Josh and Dawn made the trip with us (even after 6 days in a car driving down from Alaska).

Emma likes to take pictures.

This is what 2 bike rides and 2 hikes in one day will do to a little girl.
