Zion National Park

I have been trying to think of a word or phrase to describe Zion National Park and I am having a very hard time. Truly Majestic comes close...or the word that Ken Van Durand used when he first visited...Awesome! I don't use the work awesome very often because I always think of awesome as the parting of the Red Sea. However, in thinking this through, the same God that parted the Red Sea created this magnificent canyon...so maybe it fits. We had beautiful weather for our visit this morning and the temperature was very mild and pleasant...we just beat the summertime heat as it was really starting to heat up when we left. The pictures I have included don't really do justice to the overwhelming beauty and presence of Zion, but maybe it will give you an idea of how lovely this place is and you will put a visit on your "to do" list. We have also found the two small southern Utah towns in which we have stayed, Moab and Cedar City, to be so very lovely and filled with such nice people. Both towns are very clean, new and fresh looking with extra wide streets and plenty of parking. Of the two, I think we liked Cedar City best as Moab is purely desert and Cedar City is more foothills with lots of trees and greenery. This is a very nice part of the country. We are off to Las Vegas tomorrow!
