Sunny Southwest Adventure - Day 7

 Today is a full day (Sept. 6th) in Zion National Park.  We started the day with a tram tour of the park.  Our driver was Jessie and he entertained us as he pointed out the various cliffs.  The Mormons influenced the naming of the rock formations, such as Court of the Patriarchs, Great White Throne, East Temple.  I thought Bryce would be my favorite park but I really loved the majesty of Zion.  The beauty of God's creation is overwhelming - I'm so glad we were able to visit these beautiful parks.

These are wild turkeys in the open area in front of the lodge.

 Our accommodations were excellent and we had wonderful breakfasts.  The three dinners that were included were superb also.

After our tram tour, we took the shuttle up to Weeping Rock and hiked up to see the water seeping out of the rocks.

We felt like we were being rained on at this point.  The sandstone rocks are porous and allow the water to seep out over time.

 Back at the shuttle stop, ready to head back to the lodge for lunch.
