Multi-National Zion

Dad and I went to Zion NP today. We were amazed by both the geology and plethora of languages! We spoke with people from Spain, Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, and France.

Before traveling to Zion today, I'd been mixing up Zion and Bryce. No more!! Bryce = fantastic stone sculptures; Zion = amazing colors, and the juxtaposition of water and desert.

The footbridge into the park was a very nice transition. There is something more I want to say here, but can't think of it at the moment.

We went on several hikes; River Walk, Temple of Sinawava, along the highway from Angels Landing to The Grotto, and the Emerald Pools trail. Each was beautiful, but Temple of Sinawava was my favorite. The river with blooming cactus along the banks was amazing. I have wanted to see cactus in bloom for a very long time; I was not only able to see it today, but also take some amazing pictures.
