Day 43 - April 28, 2008

Today was a mini travel day as we just went from Bryce, Utah to Glendale, Utah (about 50 miles). We got set up and headed to Zion National Park to get some information to plan our successive days. OH my gracious, what an emotional experience. When we came out of the Mt. Carmel/Zion tunnel the view was so spectacular that I broke down in tears. This place is truly one of the most majestic places on this earth. It is eye candy for the soul. It was truly emotional and when I was speaking with the Ranger about hiking plans I actually teared up again. What a wuss I am. I hope each of you get to experience the splendor and majesty of Zion National Park. It is amazing.

Today was a FYI day. We watched the film in the museum, wrote a bit on the shuttle (you cannot drive your private vehicle on the scenic drive) and took a small hike to a grotto. I left my camera in the car as I didn't think we would do any hiking - big mistake. Just hold on for tomorrow. We plan to be in the park and do 3 Ranger programs. Who knows -maybe one of the following days we'll take a trail ride.
