Day 56 Zion National Park
Looking back on the trip I see that starting with Colorado we had a week or 2 of seeing the most beautiful parts of our planet. It's hard to describe Zion other then it's like entering a different world. We turned off the ipod because we could not find music that matched what we were seeing out the windshield. We came through the east entrance and after about an hour of driving you get to a tunnel that is 1 lane and 1 mile long, cut straight through the mountain. Every quarter mile or so the sides of the tunnel open up to give you another great view of the park. We set up camp and made it an early night because tomorrow we would try to see as much of the park as possible.
Day 57 Zion
We woke up very early and caught the bus into the park.(Zion does not allow cars in the park, they provide a free bus) We did a few of the hikes, mostly the ones that did not have large groups of people already there:
Emerald Pool
Weeping Rock
Riverside Walk (including the beginning of the Narrows)
and a few others that I can't remember right now
Next time we go I'd like to do the Angels Landing
There are a lot of photos here but I found it very hard to not show some of them off.
This was also the day we decided we needed a vacation from our vacation so we booked a $20 motel room in Mesquite, NV for a night before Vegas. For the most part, every time we met a new couch surfing host we would spend hours trading stories, not just about the trip but many topics. We needed a night where it was just her and I in our own bed.
Next post: Grand Canyon.
