ZIONS NATIONAL PARK... I've been meaning to explore this treasure in Southern Utah for awhile now but haven't actually gotten there, until this weekend. The family went on a quick vacation and I was able to pursuade the family into venturing out for a hike... in ZIONS!!
The beginning of the hike gave us this great warning... I tried to distract Mom as we passed the sign, all the while telling her how easy it was and what a great time we would have.
We started off and these great little feet...
Led to this fantastic smile!!! At just the very beginning I was falling in love with Zions. My heart was content. It was absolutely GORGEOUS and I was sooo happy I was sharing it with my family.
There are quite a few of us! There were a few times when I would look around and think, "Wow, we are quite a group aren't we!!" 14 of us... I think. I lost count.
After about 1 1/2 hours of hiking, picture taking, laughing, talking and some great hiking we made it up to the upper pool... and this was our reward....
Sure, we were a bit tuckered out. But it was well worth the hike. Absolutely breathtaking, fantastic weather and great company. We divied out the few snacks we had, explored a bit, took a bunch of pictures and then headed back down...

Here is arguably the best picture taken on the hike (although there are quite a few wonderful ones... please checkout the full albums by clicking on the links below)....
I HAD A GREAT TIME. MOM SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST HIKES WE'VE TAKEN AS A FAMILY. I AGREE.... CAN'T WAIT TO HEAD BACK AND EXPLORE THE REST OF SOUTHERN UTAH AND ZIONS!!!
