Zions National Park

Our trip to Zions National Park was amazing! When we arrived we drove through a tunnel inside the mountain that was a mile long. We set up camp at our camp ground and began to explore the area. The Virgin River was close by our camp site so we spent a lot of time down by the sandy river bed and water. We took the bus to different hiking stops and went on some of the most beautiful hikes that I have ever been on. We hiked up to all 3 of the Emerald Pools and to Weeping Rock. We stopped and took a break for snacks and some games of UNO. It was amazing to see how the animals in the park were not afraid of people. We were able to get so close to the deer and a squirrel even jumped on top of Brad's lap hoping for a snack. The kids completed their Jr. Ranger books and became Jr. Rangers. One of the requirements is going to a Ranger-Led program. We went and saw Fossil Fantastic with Ranger Barb. Marley and Miles knew so many of the answers to the questions. They both love learning about Science at school. It was an amazing trip!
