Another one night stop. After a super hot day, we drove to town for some Mexican food and beer. We headed up to the canyon for sunset. Family gets to sleep in, temps are cooler, but you get the sweet colors between 6:30 and 7:30 pm. The boys wear 'bear bells' so we - and the beers, mountain lions, etc. - know where they are. On the advice of my friend Curt, I bring up the rear and we keep the little ones mid-line.
Hiking in Zion is rocky, but not like back East. The whole park seems to me made of huge, flowing rock. The path we took had steps carved into it and was rated moderate. Some of the trails have pretty big drop-offs - a bit more than we're prepared to tackle with the kids.

ps - Madi says I'm being too terse, so we may need to spruce up future posts with her thoughts as well. :)

So very cool! Sounds like your trip is panning out to be everything you dreamed it would be! What a memory for you all, especially the kids! We miss you guys! I've probably flown right over you a few times. Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back! Thanks for sharing! :)Sue
