Zion

Our next stop was Zion National Park in southern Utah. What a different camping experience that was! A crowded, noisy, hot campground, but the scenery was spectacular. We did several amazing hikes, one of which turned out to be quite steep and long and we were so happy to find a cool, clear pool at the top to wade in. The canyon is really interesting, it's technically desert, but there is water seeping out of the rocks everywhere, and hanging gardens, pools, waterfalls.
