We headed back to Zion again on our way home, because we are probably a little obsessed. This time we stayed away from the main park and did some wandering on the trail where the Subway hike begins. We probably only went the first mile or so to the overlook ridge that leads you down to the canyon, but it is a beautiful place with lots of trees and some great views.
The boys saw so many people with walking sticks in the park that they had to create their own. They were pretty sad that we wouldn't agree to let them bring their sticks home in the car. What lame parents we are.
We stopped to let Wyatt eat at the overlook and some very formidable clouds rolled in and started to rain giant drops on us. I was trying to hold Wyatt and feed him a bottle while walking on the rocky path. It didn't work very well and we were all starting to get pretty wet, and just like that, the clouds disappeared. I guess we weren't meant to spend much time sitting around enjoying the view.
We also went to a new place that we have never been before, Lava Point Overlook. The drive was a little long, but it was so picturesque that we didn't notice. The colors are so hard to capture, but it was stunning. It was high enough to have changed a lot, although most of the main parts of the park hadn't.
This was a view of Zion that was so different from what we usually see, since we were a lot farther north that we have gone in the past. It was very cool.
