Yesterday we visited\u00a0Zion National Park\u00a0in Utah<\/a>. We were visiting Las Vegas and since gambling doesn\u2019t hold that much interest for us we drove to Zion and spent most of the day there.<\/p>\n

As Barb said, more than once, \u201cWhen you see it you understand why they made certain areas National Parks.\u201d Zion has a resemblance to Yosemite in that what Barb said about it<\/a> also applies, \u201cMeh. Maybe I\u2019m getting spoiled but one stunning view looks pretty much like another.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yup. That pretty much describes Zion. It\u2019s not surprising the park gets over a million visitors per year.<\/p>\n

\nThis was on our drive to Zion. I think it might have actually been in Arizona. We crossed the Northwest corner of it on our way.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9762Adjusted\"<\/a>
\nAnother picture that probably is in Arizona.<\/p>\n

You just expect to see Wiley Coyote and Road Runner zip by you any moment. Is the dust in the picture below from them?<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9778Adjusted\"<\/a>
\nAgain, probably in Arizona or outside the park near St. George Utah.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s beautiful to visit but Barb and agree there is no way we would want to live there. We like the tree covered mountains, rivers, and lakes too much to spend much time away.<\/p>\n

The rest of the pictures are from inside the park and I\u2019ll mostly let them speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

\nClose up of the upper right corner of the picture above it. Notice the size of the trees to get a clue as to the scale.<\/p>\n

There were some people climbing the cliffs. A small group of people were pointing at someone on this cliff. I couldn\u2019t really see it so I took a picture with my telephoto lens, then zoomed in on the spot they were point at then asked them if this was what they were looking at:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9810Cropped\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yup. Just as I thought. It was just a rock formation.<\/p>\n
