Zion National Park Travel Blogs

at 1:30am, after many an alarm and snooze have gone off, we rise one by one to get ready to go watch meteor showers! Earlier in the evening Big and Nhi figure out that we're supposed to look over Orion's right shoulder. The only problem is that the moon is very bright tonight! But after a few minut…

After a delicious hearty dinner at the Majestic View Steakhouse we returned to our hotel rooms. Tracy and I were going to go for a dip in the Hot Tub then catch a nap before going to watch the meteor showers...well lets just say I passed out as soon as I layed on my bed but at least Tracy enjoyed a…

Im not sure how this trip was conceived but im glad it was cause it was right after my midterms and i could use a good vacation.. So the day started off early in the morning 530 am.. i drove to sals house where i met up with Sal (its his house) Jenn, Tracy, Nancy, Shiela, Nhi and Big.  Jenn Tr…

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE HIKE:-    We woke up at 8am, ate cranberry trail mix, granola bar, filled up my camel pack with water, and off we go to catch the shuttle bus to the grotto which is about 20mins one way. -     We started the hike about 11am and finished from the …

I don't remember what time I fell asleep but I did...must have been pure exhaustion that sent me away to dream land...thank goodness because I could have been one pissed bitch if I didn't get any shut eye. I don't remember how but BiG or was it Jenn came bursting into our room to wake us up...which…

I went to Zion with Jen, Tracy, Sheila, Nancy, Sal, RJ, and Big last weekend. We had a blast paving our own trail, chasing the orionid, discovering the ultimate secret of the universe.

Some LA and LV peeps made their way up to Zion National Park for some hiking and meteor watching!

Saturday-   We got up right around sunrise and got ready to enjoy the rest of our exploration of Zion. We had a relaxing morning, not rushing to get somewhere as we were already here!  After breakfast, Tyler did the dishes while I called my credit cards and paid some bills. Some thin…

Zion was great!  Enjoyed the trails.  Unfortunately muddy some storms and a high flash flood potential kept us from hiking up the Virgin River through the narrows  (though many people still did).  Found really cool Big Horned Sheep here. : )

Waking up @ 12:30am, heading out onto the pitch dark road thru the Zion tunnel... I wake up at about 12:30am, having slept straight through since dinner earlier that evening.  I had planned to clean up a bit and prepare for the meteor shower, but by the time i got to the bed, my head hit the …

It was chillier this morning when we awoke after a windy night. At least until the sun's rays made it over the peaks. Even after camping down here just 2 days you already have a sense for the rhythm of the place. We wasted no time this morning, eating and cleaning up camp to be out the gate and to …

Much more beautiful than I had anticipated.

Zion National Park is a much larger park than what we could see. And we are way too old and out of shape to do the hiking required to see so much of it. So we stayed in our car and slowly drove from the south entrance to the east entrance, through the tunnels and all.  There really isn’t a…

This place is amazing!!!
