A Blue Hat and Zion National Park
Here are some pics of Seth and I in Zion National Park a couple of weeks ago. Some of my favorite photos are of me and Seth in this blue hat. I can tell we are getting a little older because we would rather look like goobers than get our heads burned. I mean, honestly, the one of me sitting on the rock? Geez…
Zion is basically one big sandstone canyon that has split down the middle with time by the Virgin River. The red rock is just really gorgeous and there is really no other place like it. The elevation and the water that escapes the rock with time causes a lot more green vegetation that you would think for it being in the middle of the desert. There is a shuttle that takes you up and down the canyon and several stops with hikes you can do, short and long. We opted for the short ones, given the fact that I am now officially heading into the orca stage of my pregnancy. We camped for a couple of nights and I was a little worried about my back but the thing that actually kept me up a little up at night was the fact that it didn’t dip below 80 degrees until after 11 pm – whoops. That and the fact that our next door camping neighbors really liked beer…and felt OK drinking it all hours – this woman’s constant cackle will forever haunt my dreams.
But I highly recommend visiting this park if you have a chance. Be sure to bring your hat…
