Day 14 - Zion

Today we tried to get up early, but we failed miserably.

"Once we tried to get into Zion National Park, we realized we should have tried harder."

"The parking lot was TOTALLY FULL!"

On our second "vulture circling" of the parking lot, we came across someone who was pulling out.

Ah, the luck of the Irish.

"Actually, I think it was the luck of the Bunny."

Once we were in Zion National Park, we hopped on the shuttle bus to go to our first location. (The road to all the cool stuff is only accessible to the shuttle buses right now.)

Our first stop was at a ranger program about the animals in Zion.

After that, we rode the shuttle bus down to the end of the road, where we had lunch.

"There was a squirrel! It really wanted food... But you aren't supposed to feed them."

After we had lunch, we went on the "riverside walk trail".

We didn't like it very much, because the trail was paved (hurts your feet), and was nowhere near the river.

Once we got there, we played in the river a little though, because we were really hot.

After a short time, we hiked back.

It was basically 2 miles of miserable.

We rode the bus back to the visitor's center, and finished up our 59th Junior Ranger.

Then, we got back in our car.

And drove.

It felt like forever, but halfway through we stopped for Chinese food to eat in the car.

And then we drove for another bunch of miles.

You wish it wasn't here yet...
