Tuesday morning we woke to very cloudy skies.
We decided to at least try to see the sights of Zions even if it may be covered in fog and rain. Once again we totally lucked out with the sun, for at least a few moments. When we got into the park we took the park's shuttle to the top of the park for the riverside walk. Since it had been stormy for the past couple days Angels Landing and The Narrows hikes had been closed, but we were able to at least get some pretty shots of the canyons near the entrance of the hikes.
After mom and dad decided to turn back on the trail, aunt Alice and I decided to hike the rest of the way into the trailhead for the narrows. It was fun to hike down "memory lane" thinking about all the times I had hiked through Zions while living in the Devonshire apartments. I'm sure everyone got sick of me recounting various adventures with Eric Foy and the gang!
While Alice and I were on the trail the rain began to pick up. Luckily I had a sweatshirt to cover my camera, but we still had to hike a mile back out of the canyon before we could find any shelter. Mom and dad thought it was pretty funny when we returned looking like drowned rats. By noon we figured that there wasn't too much more we could see with the weather problems, so we started our drive up to Bryce canyon.
