This Fall we're heading back out west. COVID will be in our thoughts as we plan for adventures while we stay safe! Our plans are to head first to Colorado, then zip over to Utah. Lots of hiking and biking are planned along our route.

6 Awesome days at Zion National Park

How do you write about this awesome place?! 

Pulled into Watchman campground with views of the surrounding canyon walls, the sound of the Virgin River, and clear blue skies.  We got out our bikes and started biking up the canyon on the Pa'rus bike trail; totally paved for 3 miles and then hooking up to the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive.  We marveled at the rock formations including the Court of the Patriarchs, and scoped out all of the hikes we planned to do, during our time here.

On the weekend, we took the park shuttle, with our bikes loaded up front.  What a great bike ride down canyon after one of our many hikes.  And no traffic except the shuttle buses.

During our visit we hiked back to Narrows, but too cold to repeat our walk up the Virgin River.  We hiked to the Emerald pools, Weeping Rock, Hidden Canyon, and for our grand finale, Angel's Landing.  Although, we didn't quite get to the end of the Angel's Landing trail -- a promise to Becky.

All of the hikes were awesome....
