How do we get a Green Card?????
... and that really is saying something! The landscape is just gorgeous - these incredible, soaring sandstone and limestone cliffs. Even the setting of the visitor centre was awesome. We ripped ourselves away from the park to have lunch in Springdale, the cutest little town just outside the gates. Can't say how much we love this place, the setting is just unbelievable. Hope you enjoy the photos.

It was only a short section so not much of a problem. The good part about the hike is that the farther we went the less the crowds were. Oh, we were never alone on the trail. But it was ...
Emerald Pools and Angels Landing
... The more tourists you have at a National Park the more rules you need as there are plenty of stupid people out there who do stupid things in nature. After the pools we walked about a half a mile to the Zion Lodge. We went inside to check it out for a few min.
