On Tuesday we decided to go see Zion National Park. We were up fairly early and headed to Starbucks for a coffee and to check our emails. Our house that we are staying at has really poor wifi and we cannot get very good access to the internet. That's ok though as we can head out for a nice coffee before starting our day.
Zion is an absolutely gorgeous park. The only sad part about that is that it attracts millions of visitors every year. We we got there, we could already tell that it was going to be crazy busy. You are not allowed to drive your vehicle in certain areas of the park are are forced to find parking outside in the town of Springdale. From what we saw, no parking was to be found. We drove through the entrance and checked out how long the waiting was for the shuttle bus that takes you through the park. It looked to be about 2 hours. Not going to happen we. both said out loud. I personally do not like crowds and did not feel bad about avoiding the lineups and waiting time. We opted to drive the scenic route. We had an amazing day just doing that. There was so much to see and we really enjoyed our time there. The views are incredible. We saw someone doing rock climbing and I could only watch for a short while. It was soooo high and soooo steep. I was terrified for the two people doing the climb. We also hiked along a dried up river bed. The striations in the rocks along the river bed were so beautiful. There was such a variety of rocks in the area and the colours were so different depending on where you were. It was so pretty.
