Monday, Oct. 20. We were so disappointed that our trip on Friday to Zion turned cloudy. When we got up the following Monday, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky! Since we love Zion so much anyway, we agreed we would return for better pictures and explore the east side of the park. Oh, Boy! Are we glad we did! It was such a beautiful day that we spent in Zion! It was well worth the return trip! We told the Ranger we were not going through the tunnel, so we didn’t have to pay the $15.00 fee. We planned on turning around at the entrance where there is parking and a trailhead.
We just took our time and stopped at each pullout just to soak in all the awesome scenery.
We just really enjoyed the pleasant, quiet, winding road that opened up to one great view after the other. I must have taken hundreds of pictures! It was so hard to decide which ones to post!
We would take a few short hikes out onto the rocks for better views and be outdoors. I don’t think I ever stopped saying “WOW!” all day long!!! I am truly a Nature’s Child!
As we told the Ranger, we turned around at the tunnel. We had even more gorgeous views heading in the other direction. Wow! The crowd waiting to go through the tunnel was worse than on Friday! Zion is just such a popular place.
We were even treated to pretty fall colors on some of the trees nestled in the gullies.
Shucks, we hated to leave this beautiful place. Now we get to look forward to another visit in our travels.
