Zion National Park, Watchman Campground, UT
Is there any better way to start the day than an early morning bike ride thru Zion along the Virgin River?
It reached 100 today so rather than do any hikes, the river called. We had a little spot to ourselves on the Virgin River. Occasionally some folks tubing down the river would float by. Our swimming hole was right after some rapids. Sometimes people would get toppled over and their tubes would get away. We had fun retrieving them - the tubes, not the people.
We were also in a little eddy. The water on the far side of the river would push us up to the rapids then we could float down. I have some cool video of Ned getting in on the action.
More bike riding this afternoon and then we hopped on the park bus up to the Weeping Wall. We've been here at least 6 times and have never seen so much water coming off the wall. It felt divine!
This pic is taken behind the water coming off the wall looking down the valley.
Dinner tonight at the lodge. Indian Fry bread tacos for Ned, grilled shrimp spinach salad for me.
The view from our campsite this evening. I'm gonna miss this place! However...
Tomorrow we head to San Diego to see Josh and Marlina. Can't wait!
