Zion National Park

We rode the Big Dog to Zion National Park and Peggy's pass worked it's magic and got us in for FREE. What a beautiful place.

Peggy got these shots on the way to the park. It was a good ride up in the mountains.
We parked the bike at the visitor center and got on the shuttle we rode it up to Zion Lodge. Then we hiked to the Emerald Pool and Water Fall. It was a .6 mile hike one way but it went up and down a lot. So we did 1.2 miles and it almost killed me hiking in my riding boots. Not a good idea.

You can walk right under this water fall. It was just beautiful.
It was a good thing we did this early in the day because it did get hot hiking up and down.
This is the Virgin River that cut this canyon out. It does not look like a big river to do all that work making a canyon.


On the way  down we saw some Mule deer and one of them came right up the trail we were on so I got a real close up shot about 6 feet away.
On the way out of the park we found a good watering hole Jack's they had cold beer so we could rehydrate.  

We had dinner at this Pizza Wagon they had a wood fired oven on a wagon. We got a pizza for 9 bucks. I guess they have low over head. It was good. 
 


Live Happy and Always Go Big.
