The majority of the park is accessible only by shuttle, but we were able get great explanations of the various hiking trails and landscape of Zion by the drivers.  One of our first stops was "Weeping Rock," which is a formation that had water dripping off the side over a semi cave that we could walk through.  We visited a few other parts of the park, but didn't really have enough time to go on one of the various 5+ hour hikes, which all seemed pretty strenuous and also ended up at observation points that overlooked the entire valley. 

We were able to go on a smaller hike which reached the lower, middle and upper "Emerald Pools."  The upper pool was especially beautiful and the calm weather allowed the pool to perfectly reflect the surrounding rocks and trees.  Alon climbed around the rocks to get into the reflection.  After this, we took the shuttle back to the car and drove to Glen Canyon and Lake Powell. 

Lighting prevented us from going through with our plan to Kayak on Lake Powell, so all we could do was view the lake and then get some dinner in one of the lodges.  After eating, we drove to Tuba City, Arizona, and found a motel which was adorned with many Navajo paintings and tapestries.  See you tomorrow at the famous Grand Canyon National Park!
