Zion National Park

I wish that everybody could visit Zion National Park once in their life because it is amazing. Zion is about 4 1/2 hours south of Salt Lake and in case you were wondering...there is NOTHING in between the two. Evan was a perfect little gem in the car! We hooked him up with plenty of snacks, books, and many episodes of Elmo on the portable DVD player.
We had great weather, although a little windy (which Evan hates). The colors of the flowers and all the green trees and grass was a breath of fresh spring air.
Enjoy...

Ready for a Road Trip!

We stopped in a town called Cedar City, which is about 3 hours south of Salt Lake, to let Evan get out and run around.



This picture is at the restaurant we ate at Friday night. We stayed in a little hippy town right outside of the park entrance called Springdale. It was a great, everything in town was within walking distance! We parked our car when we got to the hotel and didn't have to drive again until we left on Sunday.




Springdale has their own little Elk/Buffalo farm. We bought the $2 bag of food to feed the elk and Evan even got to touch the horns. Inside our hotel room getting ready to head out for the day!

Our first hike was on a trail called Riverside Walk. It was a little over a mile which took us about an hour round trip. and One thing that was nice for us, was that the park has so many trails that are paved or at least wheelchair accessible, which made it good for a stroller too.

This is our little picnic lunch.

This is taken on our second hike for the day, Weeping Wall.

Awesome!!!
