When i googled “the meaning of Zion”, the answer I got was “the heavenly city”. I cannot disagree. The park is not large yet they have figured out a system for everyone to enjoy it’s wondrous beauty, including the mountain goats! For those less active folks there is the paved Riverwalk and Pa’rus trails, not to mention the east entrance drive and the shuttle going through the main canyon. For the moderately active there are a number of lovely hiking trails that get you right into the glory of the canyon. For the adventurer, and adventurer wannabes, there is Angels Landing, the Narrows, and the Subway. For the mountaineers there are plenty of repelling and climbing sites. The one common denominator of all these is the breathtaking beauty of the park.
We are glad to have had the opportunity to stay inside the park in the Watchman Campground for 6 nights. It gave us s chance to explore the park at our leisure and still enjoy restful afternoons and evenings at our campsite.
We celebrated our last night here with a lovely and delicious dinner at The Spotted Dog Cafe, amidst a view that will never grow old. On to Goblin State Park, Utah for a quick overnight stay.
