Another beautiful day in Paradise. Temperatures were in the high 80's this morning when we drove up to Zion. You have to park at the visitor's center and take a shuttle up to the top of Zion Canyon. There are 7 stops and different walks at each one. Some are real easy and some are very hard. And it is a very popular site for rock climbers.
I thought about doing some rock climbing. Just thought about it, there is no way I could have done anything like that, even 40 years ago.
This is a view of Court of the Patriarchs. It is a very short, steep walk , but gives you a great view of some of the peaks. This was our first "hike." In the morning it is a little cool, so I usually start out with a shirt. This day, it didn't last long.
I feel like I am in a Zane Gray novel. The colors are just incredible. You could paint a house almost any color and it would blend in. Of course, you would want to design one out of local rock. And there are some houses that are just great.
After the Court of the Patriarchs. We went to the top of the canyon and did the riverside walk. And stopped to have lunch beside the river. We did not dine alone. No one does. This was one of our luncheon guests. They do wait until you are done before they come around. Maybe they aren't guests, but the busboys.
After we made it back to the shuttle stop, we rode down to the Grotto and walked the trail to the Zion Lodge, where we had a nice big dish of ice cream. Then we came home start getting ready to head out tomorrow for Moab, Utah. Where we plan to go to Arches National Park to see the eclipse on Sunday, and go road running at Canyonlands.
Will keep you posted. Til later
