Zion National Park, Utah

After staying in a "lovely" Vegas motel (we've had better campsites
than this!) and taking advantage of free breakfast, we made the drive
to Zion National park Saturday afternoon. We managed to snag one of
the last front country campsites and then set out for the scenic
shuttle. We did a few 1-mile hikes along the way to see some of the
amazing features in this park including Weeping Rock and the immense
cliffs at the Court of the Patriarchs. Unfortunately, thunderstorms
were a possibility, so backpacking the Zion Narrows was not. Maybe
another trip. Overall a pretty unique park with the diversity of
wildlife and it's massive sandstone cliffs.

After an incredibly windy night, we headed to the Grand Canyon Sunday
morning.
