Zion

Utah! We are kinda weary of the vowel states, you know things are wacky there, but we'll make an exception for Utah. Before we got here we thought what's in Utah? Maybe some potatoes that took root from Idaho? We didn't see any potatoes, but we did see some incredible stuff. First stop: Zion National Park. We saw this place on TV, so you know it must be good. The ride there was tricky to say the least. I think when they made the roads they had only motorcycles in mind and the wind so strong I thought it would blow us off a few times. When we got to the park, we kept seeing signs that said RVs need an escort. Yikes. There was a tunnel that was about a mile long and so small that they had to close it so an RV could go though. The road after that was narrow and winding with cliffs along the side. We were scared to move lest we fall over the side of the mountain. Once we got in and settled though it was a different story.

The park was stunning! There was so many trails and activities to do. We had a blast. There was one trail that you hike up the mountain and on the way you pass by three pools of water and waterfalls along the way. Each of the pools was more spectacular than the last, and the last one was unbelievable. To top it all off, we got there just in time to see some rock climbers descend from the rock wall above the pool. Another one we went on was even more breathtaking. The trail was called The Narrows, and the trail was the river! It's called The Narrows because two mountains come together, and down the trail they get so close they almost touch. We got to the river part of the trail around 5 o'clock and the water temperature was about 56 degrees. It was really cold, but it was amazing. Ameer went all the way in! That boy is brave, it was freezing cold. Siraj decided to jump in too and they were both going along in the river like nothing. It was so cute.

We stayed there for three days, but it was much too short for this enchanting place.
