Zion National Park

We were talking the other night how blessed we are to be able to travel at our leisure and see what a beautiful  country we live in.  When we left Az. last April we waundered  to Utah. What a feast of  scenic delights.  We stayed there close to a month and need to go back sometime .  It was there we found Zion , another National Park. Being able to travel on off season relieves us of the crowds and the heat of summer in these popular attractions.

The park encompasses 150,000 acres and is  a spectacular geologic wonder.  Sheer red and white sandstone cliffs tower up to 2,500 feet .

We saw many climbers scaling the cliffs and was frightened for them.  I guess that's what we old folks do, worry about something like that.  I must be running out of space now.  Love to you all who read this.

those pics are beautiful, I made my husband come look too. We're putting it on our WANNA SEE list. Climbers made me nervous, too. Greg thought it looked fun!
