After we set up camp and after a yummy dinner of hamburgers and hot dogs we will head out on our evening hike. Watchman Trail is a short trail that heads up to a viewpoint on top of the first layer of cliffs roughly 300 feet above the canyon floor. The view is amazing!
We hope everything will be open in July but we will be doing at least one of the following: Weeping Rock is a large bowl-shaped alcove where the lower layer of sandstone has eroded away; water that has been slowly descending within the sandstone formations reaches an impermeable layer of rock and is forced out the side causing the "weeping." The weeping walls form a beautifully lush hanging garden with a little flowing stream below. The Canyon Overlook Trail is a nice short-but-sweet hike that ends at a great viewpoint looking into the main canyon.
Emerald Pools is a Zion classic, an oasis in the middle of the desert. The hike is a collection of short trails that meander past a small, lushly-vegetated stream that rolls down from the cliffs and forms several interesting pools.
After a yummy breakfast and packing our day packs we will hop on the Zion shuttle and head to the Riverside Walk Trail.
We will experience the best Zion has to offer as we start at the Temple of Sinawava anad head up the narrow canyon. We will be hiking in water most of the day so watershoes are a must!! We will see Mystery Falls and Big Springs before we haed back to camp for dinner. What a great day!
A short but challenging hike will be perfect for this beautiful Thursday morning!
An afternoon spent at this awesome local pool will be a great way to spend our last day together before we head home tomorrow. Then we will enjoy a dinner out in St. George :)
Pick up is at Murray Park from 4-5pm. :)
