Zion Canyon

Heading too two thirds of the way down the grand stair case we entered Zion National Park from the east entrance. With our hotel on the other side of the park, in Springdale, we cruised through part of the park including the one mile long tunnel and various switchbacks to get to the valley floor and down to our hotel.
We had breakfast then took the free bus up to the far end of the side canyon as cars are not allowed in this area.
Beginning at the top we saw the narrow opening formed by the river and spreading out to the wide valley with marinading river along its base.
Stopping at each available stop we walked the tracks to get great vantage points of the cliffs, valley floor etc. The walk up to Scouts lookout included various switchbacks and steep drop offs. Aaron completed the walk up to Scouts lookout and the (easy) first stage to Angles Landing.
Various other walks we did included walking up to three pools connected by water falls.
After about 8 hours in the park we returned to the hotel for a swim and spa before a walk through the town followed by dinner.
If only we had weeks to spend at each park, as there as there are numerous long hikes, climbing, abseiling (etc) opportunities one would not get board.
