Zion National Park... Steve's Point of View.....

As promised, here are some of the pictures that Steve took. I'll post Chris's pictures when I get them later. These might be a little out of order, but you get the idea.





The large Oak tree in the middle of the lawn in front of the lodge. This was the main hang out during the hot part of the day. It's amazing as to how much cooler it was to sit under there.


The pasture on Chamberlin's Ranch. Beautiful!




River crossing





This sandstone looked like a dinosaur's skull. Very cool looking.


Lots of arches broken out of the canyon walls as well.




There were also plenty of log jams to have to climb over. Some were almost a little TOO hard to get over..hehehee! I recall getting my shorts hung up on one and then falling into the water climbing over another one.





Looking up in The Narrows





All smiles!




Looking down over the waterfalls. We guessed they were close to 20' tall.


Megan posing.


Walter's Wiggles. The view looking down at Chris and I. We saw so many pictures of this part of the trail and were really worried about it... it ended up being the Not So Bad part of the trail. Kind of.

Skipping around.... here's the top of the West Rim

Hiking around through the brush

The little spring at the top of the trail. They say that you need to filter the water before you drink it...they aren't kidding. I heard that you had to move all the bug larvae and algea out of the way to get the water out.

The scary cliff trail on the way down the rim.... doesn't look as bad here, but hiking down it, you just see the side of the trail and no slant.

Almost to the bottom of the trail!

A different view of Walter's Wiggles..... see why they looked pretty scary? ; )

You see Walter's Wiggles making it's way up to Angel's Landing.

The shuttle bus. VERY efficient! I just wish more parks used this system.

Another arch.

Hidden Canyon- Steve and Chris's trip while Megan and I were hiking the Emerald Pools trail.

Chris in a cave

A better view of the lodge

Back to a few more Narrows pictures. This was another obsticle. It got REALLY deep where my feet are in the picture, so the only way to get across was to climb to that point and then pull yourself up. Otherwise, you'd be swimming.

You can see that it's up to Megan's waist and she's not even to the point yet.

Another deep spot by some hanging gardens.
