Temple of Sinawava - ZION NATIONAL PARK (05/2011)

This is a magnificent stroll for about a mile or so down the Virgin River in Zion National Park.  The hike takes you to the Narrows, which, unfortunately, were closed because the river was too high and the current was too swift.

Me never missing a photo op!









This was a little deer looking for something to eat.
She didn't seem to mind all the people taking her photo!

Many squirrels running around the park.  This one was
not at all shy about wanting to share my lunch!






The Virgin River





This is where a hike through the Narrows would normally
start.  But, it would be impossible with the water this high.


Kermie and the Red Cat like Zion National Park

 And, so do I!

  1. One of the most unique hikes in all of the National Park system is the Narrows, of Zion National Park, in Utah. For the adventurous, this 16 mile trek from the trailhead north of Zion back into the Park itself, involves wading, and occasionally swimming, through the Virgin River, as you travel the slot canyon that the river has carved through the Navajo Sandstone.
