On our way to Zion National Park in UT.

No wonder it's called Zion.
It was like waiting for God to speak in His thunderous voice as we looked open-mouthed at the beauty that surround us. |

The Riverside Walk.
Moses... er....Jacob eagerly led us trekkers in this ice-cold water. With his stick, he did not want any help from any of us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are we there yet? We were hungry and hot and tired.
|
|
|
Thank God for shaded areas.

Looking up while balancing on rocks from the Riverside walk.

And we move on...
|
|
|
|
We decided to head back.
It's been almost three hours and we have not come close to The Narrows. It was getting late and we running out of food and water.

|
|
Back on the trail.

Hoodoos are what the Pauite Indians called these. They believed that these were "Legend People" turned into stones as punishment for bad deeds.

Can you see the face?
|

Check out the hiking trails.

Just spectacular!
Erosion shaped these colorful sandstones, limestones and mudstones into this awesome array of spires, fins, and pinnacles.
