Even from a distance, the first sight of Zion is breathtaking.
(Just ignore the bug splatters on the windshield.)
Since we were parked right at the trailhead for Coalpits Wash, we decided to try it in the morning before the temperature rose to unbearable. Good thinking since the trail was mostly across open area.
After about 1 1/2 miles, we entered the canyon with some shade.
After having our snack, we decided to head back. Maybe I should have told Ron I was taking his picture.
He paid me back though. The only tricky sections of the trail went through some side washes. He caught me doing my butt slide down one of the steep parts.
After the second night there, we decided to move into the park campground and find some shade. In addition, we also found the campground deer who aren't at all fazed by humans.
We really have to plan another trip back to Utah. When I see your pictures I just want to be there.
ReplyDeleteYou did that butt slide in a very lady like fashion! ;c)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery from your site! The deer in the park are the smart ones - they know no one can shoot them there. Survival of the fittest!
