Zion National Park, Utah

Zion is a beautiful park. It really gives you a preseptive of a canyon. In the Grand Canyon you are at the top looking down or you can hike down. At Zion you drive to the bottom of the canyon where there is a shuttle bus to take you from point to point. Here you hike up, which we felt was much easier, because on the way back when you were tired at least you were going downhill.

The Emerald pool trail was awesome. It consisted of 3 different pools. when you reached one you could get your feet wet and cool off. Mom made it to the 2nd pool. Martin and I took the kids to the upper pool, where the climb was steep. The temp being over 100 didn't make it easier. But it was sure worth the trip.


The motor home made it thru this tunnel but any vechicle over 11'4" needs to travel in the middle of the tunnel therefore all traffic coming in the other direction needed to be stopped. Boy, was it dark in there.
