Here is our crew after a restful night, ready to see Zion National Park.

These are the trolley buses that take you from site to site in the western side of the park. Zion National Park is divided into two parts connected by a mile long tunnel. We visited the western side today, we will visit the eastern side tomorrow.
It was cloudy a good share of the day which helped to keep the temperatures down to the mid to upper eighties but there were many sunny periods of the day which helped us get some nice pictures.
Water filters down through the rock and at some point hits a spot where it cannot continue filtering down, so works it's way out to the surface. It carries with it minerals which cause coloration on the surface as it continues toward the river.
Justin and Hannah enjoyed climbing on some of the boulders along the trail.
Everywhere you look, it is beautiful.
The area typically only receives about 12 inches of rainfall so cacti are right at home here.
My lovely wife and travel planner, how lucky am I?
