Zion National Park
« on: April 23, 2009, 06:07:11 PM »
We spent five days in Zion a few weeks back and had a blast. We met my roommate from college, his wife and three kids and spent four nights at the Watchman CG in the park and one night in the backcountry on BLM land about a mile north of the park. We had a great time with beautiful scenery. Most exciting was keeping track of eight kids aged six and under. I have attached two pictures and have many more with some brief narrative on the blog.

Great job again Danny, got to love that big red rock even with the Easter crowds. Zion would be a great place to go with kids because of the ease of movement with the shuttle. Eight would be a special challenge though  :eusa_doh:
Thanks.

Was that a Kia strapped on back there?  lol
