Zion!

Yes, Zion NP merits the exclamation point.  Magnificent, multi-colored mountains with sheer cliffs.  We're in Watchman Campground, just inside the south entrance.  That's Watchman Mountain, below. Top picture was taken from inside the RV, while sitting at the dining table.

The Virgin River, which runs right by our campsite, is small, unimpressive - but it did one helluva job carving out Zion Canyon.

We took a 1-mile hike up the Virgin River to the point where the trail stops and you have to continue by walking/wading in the River itself, into The Narrows.  Some of the Stick People continued upriver; we did not.  Stick People are tour group folks.  They carry walking sticks which have the names of the tour companies painted on them.  The sticks aren't state of the art, just wooden dowels really, but hey, they do have rawhide thongs near the top to give those tenderfeet a real feel for the Wild West.

Mule deer abound in the Park, nice rack on this one.

Hanging gardens, above and below.  

Plants cling to sheer cliff walls where water seeps down from above. 

I was last here in 1987, was into backpacking and mountaineering at the time, did a whirlwind tour of Arches, Bryce, Zion.  We (girlfriend and I) backpacked up Walter's Wiggles, past Angel's Landing, to the plateau above, camped there a couple nights.  This picture was taken up top, Great White Throne in background.
