Day 179 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways
Zion National Park
As I mentioned yesterday, I arrived relatively early to the Visitor Center in Zion National Park, parked VANilla under a shady tree, and boarded the shuttle for a 30 minute ride to the Grotto. From the Grotto, I took the mile long, rocky Kayenta Trail along the cliff’s edge overlooking the Virgin River lined in cottonwoods. As I rounded the bend, in the distance a tall cascade of water tumbled from the cliff side in the morning sunlight. The waterfall reflected every color of the rainbow…what a pleasant surprise! It was hard to contain my eagerness to reach the Upper and Lower Emerald Pool Trail.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
