Summer activities - pictures! (part 5b)
Part 5, cont.: Zion National Park
Part 5b. Riverside Walk
The Riverside walk is a paved path along the river which formed the canyon (the Virgin River). It goes about a mile, then stops. When the path stops, you can keep going if you wish by wading in the water, crossing from side to side until the canyon gets so narrow that the paths on the side(s) vanish. Leslie and Emily braved the entire trail with me. We went until the water got too deep for Leslie and Emily to wade.

We had to keep moving, because about 200 Japanese tourists were right on our heels! :-)
Resting on the way back... this is a nice spot where Pauline waited for us until she lost patience.
