Zion


On Good Friday, we drove to Zion National Park. Very impressive. Most of the photos I took do not do justice to the place. The visitors come from all over the world. Very popular park, you have to take a shuttle bus up the canyon. We came in from the East, so we drove through the one mile tunnel, and got to see that part of the park from our own vehicle.

It has been wet, so the falls are running and the river is high, much too high to hike in the riverbed at the Narrows. The photo below does not really capture the 900 cubic feet per second (cfs) flow. They close the Narrows to hiking at 150 cfs.

Thanks, Richard. As always, I have enjoyed your trips and photos. Let me know when you get home. Glad the cats are adjusting! Rockies lost today (Sunday) but are off to battle Mom's other favorites, the Cubs! Love to all,
Judy
