Zion National Park

Last week we visited Zion National Park but was unable to post an entry.  Better late than never,  I always say..

The weather is rainy but just like the mailmen we must go on.   You see we are sure the weather man must be wrong.  Well, today he wasn't and we are in shorts, DAH,  why are people looking at us.

We on our way to Zion National Park where they charge $20 to get in but we have our handy dandy senior pass, so free for us!
Cars are not allowed in the park but they provide a shuttle around the canyon taking the scenic route.   These shuttles stop along the way at different trails and sightsseeing areas.  The park is  a haven for hiking, canyoneering, horseback riding, camping, and rock climbing.  The trails vary in length and skill ability.   One of the trails lead to  Weeping Rock..  This is a short but steep trail ending at a rock alcove with dripping springs.  Now the interesting part of this is that the water dripping out took 4,ooo years to get to that point.  So the rain that hit the top on that particular mountain route will not get to the weeping rock for 4000 years.  Isn't that amazing?

Be good, take care of each other.v
