Zion National Park

Today we went to Zion National Park, about an hour from where we are camped. We parked at the Visitor Center which was not easy and took the shuttle bus around the park. There are seven stops along the way. There are a lot of hiking trails in the park and apparently a number of people who climb the huge rocks. We didn't see any climbing today but years ago Ted had watched a guy climbing who fell. Fortunately he was tethered and didn't fall too far. We visited the Zion Lodge, rooms start at $159.35 with cabins at $173.35.

We had lunch at "The Grill" on the balcony overlooking the grassy area with beautiful canyons on both sides. We also looked around the gift shop. The next stop was the Zion Museum where we watched a Zion Orientation movie. In the movie they describe how millions of years ago the area was flat and how the wind blowing the sand from the desert formed sediment and built up the huge rocks forming the canyons. Water then flowed through the canyons causing rocks to change again. Wonder what it will be like millions of years from now????
