Zion National Park

Our campsite offers shuttle rides to Zion National Park. So, we took advantage of that today. Once in the park, you can take a hop-on, hop-off tram to various locations in the Park. We decided to ride to the end of the line and work our way back. At the end of the line is a hiking trail that leads to one of the Park’s more famous hikes - The Narrows. The Narrows is a hike where you enter the Virgin River and walk up stream between cliff walls. Most of the people doing that hike today had stopped at an outfitter just at the park entrance and rented shoes, socks, waders, hiking poles, and water bags. Nan and I actually hiked The Narrows 27 years ago when you could drive into the Park. We didn’t have any special equipment and we remember seeing a handful of other people, at most. Today, we walked the trail to the entry point and enjoyed the memories while watching the throngs of people enter the water. Still, lovely to see the Park and all of its beauty!
