We're Marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion...


The neat thing about being in Zion National Park is that we are at the bottom. No more nail biting, hair pulling rides along precipices thousands of feet high. In my opinion it is a more awe inspiring experience to be at the base of these 6000' cliffs; surrounded by massive buttresses and sheer cliffs. We saw some pretty amazing things today, including 2 men scaling what looked like a 2000' sheer cliff. Springfield, the town we are staying in, abuts the park and offers much more for the traveling duo than Bryce Canyon City did. There are multiple galleries for the souvenir hungry and ample restaurants for the gourmet deprived. We will be here for 3 days; truly a wonderful place for a Valentine.
