Summer activities - pictures! (part 5a)
Part 5: Zion National Park
I remember going to Zion National Park as a kid (7 years old, probably), and not being especially impressed. I guess 30 years changes a guy. :-)
Three hikes that I thought were especially cool this time around were Weeping Rock, Riverside Walk, and the Canyon Overlook Trail.
Part 5a. Weeping Rock
We did the Weeping Rock trail first. It's just a short hike to a place where water drips out of a section of rock. They said that the water was 800-1200 years old--it takes that long from the rainfall for the water to seep through the semi-porous rock.
