Monday

Day 43 - Monday, March 15

Well, we got lucky again.  Walked to the ranger station this morning at 8:00 am and a cancellation resulted in a 3 day stay extension for us.  We did have to pack up and move for the fifth time in eleven days, but by now we are getting pretty efficient at changing camp sites.

In bad weather this park nice, but not great.  In  great weather this park is awesome!  We now are having great weather.  We love it!  We are very happy campers right now.

Today was taken up with moving, driving 25 miles to grocery shop, wash the car, and just "chill" out and enjoy the warmth of the sun.  Tomorrow another hike, but a more challenging one.

Pictures below from our Sunday hike -
And three videos at the end:


Once again, "The Watchman"

We drove to Zion Lodge and parked the car to begin the hike of the Emerald Pools. There is a series of 3 pools and waterfalls with the longest at the top

On our way to the upper Emerald Pool. It became a little steeper and the walls of the canyon were straight up and blocking the sun. The trail became a very fine sand between huge rocks and boulders

At the top pool the water was really cascading and it was much cooler. Awesome!
The video really is worth a look

Coming down the trail to the middle and lower pools.
There was a lot of mud on this part of the trail

After our hike we drove around a bit and took pictures out of the open sun roof taking it all in

Back at camp enjoying the pups and the sunshine

Somehow, pictures are out of sync but you get the idea of the beauty of Zion


Major mud on the trail
