Zion Nat'l Park - Shuttle Road

Friday we went back to Zion, taking the shuttle road deeper into the park. The shuttle stops at several view points and trail heads along the way and we got off to explore at almost every stop. Because our dogs were still back at the RV, we knew we could only spend about six hours in the park, so we didn't take any of the longer trails. But we did hike most of the shorter ones as well as going part way on some of the longer ones. By the end of the day, my neck was sore from continually looking straight up.

At one of the view points, we were able to watch some rock climbers going up the sheer face of "Angel's Landing." In the full view photo, I've circled their location. I can't even imagine attempting something like that.




We again took over 100 pictures, and these are some of the best. But even these don't do justice to the beauty of the place.



We relaxed at home over the weekend, catching up with chores like laundry and enjoying the first games of the new NFL season. Sadly my team lost today. We'll see what happens with Tom's team later tonight. But I digress...

Tomorrow our plan is to drive along the public road that goes through the park to it's eastern end, so I'm sure our camera will be getting another workout.
