Spring Break - Zion National Park part 2

These are a few more pictures from our hikes on Thursday.  We hiked to Weeping Rock - a super cool mountain that leaks water!  This was a super short hike, but has some steel spots.

Cool view at the end!






 Shuttle waiting!  

 The shuttle we ended up getting on was SO full, and hot and stinky!  So we opted to do one last hike!  We hopped off and walked along the Pa'rus Trail back to the Visitor's Center.  It was a lovely walk down the Virgin River!



That night we went out to Chuck A Rama for dinner.  We love that place, and we got free kids coupons from the SF Easter Egg hunt.  Pretty great!  The kids were entertaining Sawyer outside after dinner.




DAY 2 at Zion National Park!!!
Friday, we went back to do a couple more hikes at Zion.  We knew the drill by then, and were able to see what we wanted!
First thing, we hit the Visitor's Center to see if we could find Sawyer's hat - no luck!

We hiked the Emerald Pool trails first thing in the morning.  Now that we know what we are doing - we got to the shuttle and hikes pretty quick!
We saw a few little lizards!
There were some pretty cool rocks along this trail!






We even ran into our friends, the Heaps!  Jillian and Sophie are little BFFs.  It's darling.

Hiking back, we took a long way home trail - Kayenta Trail.  It was a cool hike!  It did feel like we were not on a short cut for sure, but we didn't want to miss anything! This was the only hike that we did that was from the "moderate" section of the hiking guide.
