Far below the towering rock cliffs I am reminded of how small I am. My problems, my worries, my life is really small in comparison to this whole wide world. I am grateful for my faith, my personal power I cling to. No matter how small or insignificant I might feel I am happy to know this great big beautiful world was created for me to enjoy. I realize it was not created solely for me, but when I am hiking amidst the hovering pine trees or the red sandstone and there is no one else around, it certainly feels like this was all created just for me.

Oh, how I love the red dirt trails.
There are a multitude of excellent hikes to go on while you are in Zion National Park. I would suggest consulting this guide to determine what is appropriate for your comfort level, skill and time frame. A few of the hikes we went on were: Emerald Pools Trail, Weeping Rock and Observation Trail.

| Our most used possession, our Camelbaks. |
 |
| With views like this I could hike here for weeks. |
 |
| Indian Paintbrushes growing out of the rock. |
 |
| Trees precariously perched on rocky ledges. |
 |
| Talk about one phenomenal lunch spot. |
 |
| We camped at the Watchman campground while enjoying spectacular views all around us. |
 |
| We thoroughly enjoyed the park being "car free" and learning more about the park as we took the shuttle around. |
