Day 1--Zion National Park

Beautiful!

Well, we have started our big road trip. We left at 4:30 this morning, and arrived at Zion National Park without any problems. Zion is simply beautiful! The kids got started right away with the Jr. Ranger Program. We went to a Ranger talk on "Amazing Animals" where we learned all about the Black Bear. We went on several hikes in the 100+ degree weather. One of the hikes was the Riverside Walk. It was a nice hike along the Virgin River to the "Narrows". It was amazing to see God's handiwork in the sheer, straight up cliffs. We did a little wading in the river to cool off. We drove back to St. George, Utah for dinner and our hotel. The kids and Dan are enjoying the swimming pool right now. Tomorrow is back to Zion for the day.

  2. How fun! We used to stay in St. George when we went skiing in Brian Head. One of the very few regrets I have since moving from Vegas is that I never went to Zion!
