Getting Going in Zion National Park!

Dirk scores a Zion Natl Park sticker. Yes, he is putting it on a window, not a mural.  Nice reflection, huh?

Bike riding out of our campsite at Zion.  Got the last one or two sites available the first day the park reopened.  Hurrah for Utah footing the bill for their parks to open!

Dirky the turkey man.  We were surprised by this group of 13 female turkeys and another of about 7 male turkeys.  And today is Canadian Thanksgiving!  If only it weren't a National Park!


View from our Bedroom. We are parked along the Virgin river where the moon rises over this monolith!

Today's challenge.  Coming up Walter's Wiggles from the river bottom to the top of the west rim.  Amazing construction on this trail.

Dirk settling in to this vista point along the west rim.   Can you see him?  Time for a chocolate reward!


Dixie on the steep part of Walter's Wiggles.  Great echoes from the canyon wall on the right, too.

This hike was amazing and not really terribly hard or scary.  The trail ascends those rocks behind Dirk.
