Zion National Park

      Today, Rebecca and Margie (2 other 5-week interns), and myself took a trip out to Zion National Park! For this blog, I'm going to let the pictures do a lot of the talking :). It was breathtaking! (all pictures will be extra big so you can see them better!)

As we drove through the park, I took some pictures out of the car window! And unfortunately, these pictures don't even do Zion justice. At one point, we drove through a long tunnel that basically went underneath a mountain, it was so neat!

We just keep driving down these winding roads... There were way too many photo ops!

These next pictures are from our hike on the Pa'rus Trail...

This is the Virgin River that runs through Zion.

Beautiful cactus flowers! These were all over the place...

       Woohoo, one national park that I can check off my list!!! It was such a fun hike! But yikes... on our way back, a huge yellow snake slithered across the trail, we ran and screamed like hell! And no, I did not capture a picture of him! It took us about 3 and 1/2 hours to complete the Pa'rus Trail, and I am definitely exhausted now. I'm struggling to keep my eyes open, but I'm  trying to not nap so that I can fall asleep early tonight! I want to be well-rested for my fist day in pigs tomorrow!!! :)
