Zions National Park


Friday we went to Zions National Park. We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was overcast but not raining; cool but not cold. We had fun hiking and exploring. We saw several wildlife including deer and wild turkeys. I was excited about the deer; J was excited about the wild turkeys. He even took a two minute video of a male turkey courting two female turkeys. He was bummed he forgot his camera at the hotel, and did what he could with my camera which is why the turkeys aren't as clear. We are pretty sure that this is a bobcat track. My foot is next to the footprint to show relative size. There were other tracks but this one was the best. As per usual with Dad, we went exploring. We had fun with a little rock climb and following a dry riverbed.










Zuri loved the exploring, and did a little of her own.



On the trail to the Emerald Pools, the trail become stroller unfriendly (the shot above is from the waterfall at the middle pool). Not letting that stop us from our destination, Dad and J took matters into their own hands...
...and the princess fell asleep. She had such a cozy ride, and the highest pool was definitely worth the climb! It was by far the best of the three pools.

J waded into the river for this shot. The water was very cold and onlookers laughed as he came hopping out of the water.
