Zion National Park
The next leg of our journey took us to Zion National Park. Even on our way to Zion, the scenery was majestic!
In case you all think it is always warm in these parks, it was 19 whole degrees outside when we took these pictures. The snow on the trails - and on the roads - meant not much hiking; but it sure made for beautiful scenery. The ranger at the gate warned us that 10-15 mph was advisable as we approached and left the tunnel. This was taken after leaving the tunnel.
OK, so a couple of places were just too high and straight up for even snow to stick.
For one last chance at a short hike, we drove into one of the loops to Temple of Sinawava, and found the river walk somewhat doable.

What a great trip to Vegas! I guess we always drive too fast or drive the ugly/short routes. We need to do a detour.

Saw you over at Rachel's blog and had to check you out! I'm a horse lovin girl myself!! Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteYes, Mr. Daddy, even Bill doesn't voluntarily hit the ground when it's that cold (without Ranger's help, that is). I did have volunteers to help throw him in the river, but declined.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you gotta get off the beaten path!!!! There is so much to see out there.
