Zion National Park

On Monday, we went to Zion National Park. I'd hoped to go to Bryce National Park but due to the recent snowfall, all trails below the rim were closed so we opted to go to Zion instead. It's a beautiful park and we enjoyed our time there.

Megan spotted these deer near the Visitor's Center.

We got off the shuttle at Weeping Rock.

We rode the shuttle to the last stop, Temple of Sinawava, and walked along the river until the start of the Narrows. The kids enjoyed throwing rocks into the river.

Cheese!

Some nice views from the canyon.

Cute squirrel!

Sarah enjoyed crossing the river.

Megan, Sarah and Matthew. Sarah helped Megan and Matthew navigate their way onto the island, lending them a hand as necessary.

We came across this gurgling spring.

Megan looking towards the spring. There was lots of green growth around it.

Waterfall! It was on the other side of the river and Sarah wanted to get to it.

Grandma watching as Sarah comes back to shore after deciding not go to the waterfall. (The water was fast and there wasn't a good way to cross on the rocks.)

We hiked to the Lower Emerald Pool. It was nice and cool behind the waterfall.

Matthew and Megan enjoyed climbing into the indentations in the rock.

Zion really is a beautiful park!

Matthew wanted to take a picture of Me taller than the mountain on the other side of the canyon.

Matthew was also taller than the mountain.

The Watchman

Matthew was taller than the Watchman, of course.
