From Utah to Arizona, and back to Utah, losing an hour and gaining it back at the cross of a state line. After nearly four weeks of rock, geological wonders and nature at its best it is with some trepidation that we head to another national park - can we really still get excited at more rock? Well, actually, yes! It is different rock, it is a different colour, it is a different formation, it is in a different place and it has its very own tale to tell. The Zion national park has a great set up, due to the large number of visitors and the smaller size of the canyon shuttle buses have been put to use to take you in, around and out of the canyon, stopping at many view points, eating areas and trail heads. It was great to give the car up for a day, take a shuttle bus and spend the day hiking - emerald pools, hanging gardens, a snake, a tarantula, a river and a very narrow canyon - called the narrows! Utah rocks!
