zion part 2

continuing on from yesterday one more set of pictures from our day trip to Zion

due to it being February most of the trails were closed at points  this is as far as we could go on the river walk further in if you have the right gear you can walk the narrows next trip!!



beautiful river water



took the drive up through the tunnel and this was such a pretty site to see



the tunnel has carved in sections that let in daylight which is really cool here you can see one of them carved into the wall



and a close up



a bit of snow left



saw some deer but forgot to add to flickr to add here oops.  but did get this mountain blue jay



and of course the squirrels have to have pictures of that



and now time to say goodbye



if you haven't been to this park it is well worth going.  gorgeous.

zion national park

we added on some time while in Vegas for a quick day trip to Utah.  We have been to Zion once before and loved it spent several days there hiking and thought it would be fun to see this time of year.  its only about a 2 1/2 hour drive away

this is angels landing which we hiked the last time we were there, well I only got to scouts landing and hubby went the rest of the way.



most of the hikes were closed at certain points so you could only go so far like weeping rock



an overhang that usually has water falling over it but instead had deadly ice falling instead this is as close as we could get



seeing the ice and snow on the mountains was fun





we spent several hours in the valley.  will post one more set of pictures tomorrow
