Another quick blog. We’re at a campground just outside Zion National Park and the wifi once again is weak. Zion is our fifth national park in Utah and while we both agree Bryce was the most spectacular for its canyon views, the canyon walls of Zion are without equal. They are majestic and overwhelming to look up to, particularly when driving through a series of hairpin turns and the mountains grow taller with each curve.
We hiked on two trails, including the one above, the Riverside Walk along the Virgin River. Along the trail we met a curious squirrel and a young mule deer.
just before entering Zion, we stopped to see a herd of bison.
A couple of other images from today:
Not sure we will have a blog tomorrow — we’ll be in Las Vegas and you know what they way, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”!

It is hard to let all of Utah soak in.
“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
