Day 22 - Zion National Park


Zion is absolutely gorgeous!  Just getting into the canyon was an experience, like, the 1 mile tunnel through rock; then the winding mountain road down into the canyon.  We first hiked a half mile up a rather steep path to Weeping Rock where water from the mountain seeps through the sandstone creating a rain shower on the rocks below. 

Hike #2 was an easy 1 mile trek through the Temple of Sinawawa which runs beside the Virgin River and was the best hike ever.  We saw a deer, beautiful foilage, a waterfall, squirrels scampering about and the fast moving water of the Virgin River.  This may be our overall favorite canyon.
