We're in Glendale, UT at a small campground with the most beautiful apple orchard in bloom! We've spent the greater part of two days at Zion NP. One day we took the free shuttle throughout the canyon. Today we hiked the Emerald Pools (upper, middle, and lower--new muscles used will be screaming tomorrow) and toured the Zion Lodge and Human History Museum. Zion gives you a unique perspective of being at the base of the canyon looking up. All the other NP's we've been to, you are at the top looking down or across. Zion feels more personal. The 1.1 mile tunnel with sharp curves and the 13 miles of switchbacks to get down to the canyon floor are an incredible experience in themselves. So far Zion NP is our favorite. Tomorrow we head for Bryce and later we will see Mesa Verde. We'll see if Zion says our favorite.
