A little state park in Utah. Not much to see by car, as most "attractions" are reached only by hiking a trail. We did the Petrified Dunes trail, as it is the "famous" view of Snow Canyon.<br><br>Initially, I wondered what on earth made the dunes so scared, i.e. petrified? And how could they tell that the dunes ...

... we saw 2 snakes on the path! They didn't worry us though. Downhill was definitely easier and we still kept taking photos. At the bottom we jumped back on the bus and headed to to end of the road where we went on the Riverside Walk which was a 2 mile round trip on a paved path. It was a nice amble and very different from the uphill hike. Then I wanted to go and see the Lower Emerald Pool, a 1.2 mile round trip. We had a look around Zion Lodge and watched the deer on ...

I was signed myself up with one whole month at Fitness Ridge, really not knowing what to expect. There were some difficult days and there were some amazing days. The scenery is absolutely breath taking and the staff at Fitness Ridge are incredible. I also met a great deal of cool people and made lots of friends. Overall, I lost 24 pounds in 28 days! And, have amazing pictures hiking through the mountains of Southern Utah! Super fun!

"200 million ye*rs? All of this took seven d*ys." But, who's quiveling over numbers? Seven d*ys or 200 million ye*rs, the sites of Zion N*tion*l P*rk *re enough to bring the f*ithless--*nd f*ithful--to their knees. Judgin g by the nomencl*ture, the f*ithful h ...

... good narative about the various points of interest along the way. We got off at a few stops to take photos, then caught the next tram, etc. After the tram, we watched an IMAX movie, on a huge 9-story high screen, in the bordering town of Springdale. It's beautifully filmed, with spectacular scenery, and it's more about the ancient Indians and their spiritual ...

... from Germany and Holland. The trek was nice as the path takes you along the river's edge at the floor of the canyon. You look up at 1,000 plus feet walls carved by millions of years of erosion. It reminds you that your life span of roughly 100 years is pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The group was showing signs of fatigue so we headed back. We all were eager to eat which we did well.

... to the steeply undulating hills. the peak i happened to choose was ensign peak. a few days after uttering his approval of the salt lake valley, Brigham Young and his companions climbed this peak and surveyed their promised land. they mapped out a city and prepared to build a temple. they raised an improvised flag, an ensign to the nations on the peak as a symbol of their unfolding destiny and the future of the lands they were laying claim to. a flag still flies from the ...

We left zion National park Heading for yosemite National park. America is so vast, we had already put quite a distance between us and zion when we drove past a road sign that said next gas station 150 miles. Luckily this time we had filled up, but even so with such a massive distance and a bit of a guzzler of a mustang, we were stil worried ...
