As our 14 days is soon to be up, it is time to get ready to head to yet another adventure. Our next stop will be at San Rafael Swell in South Central Utah, near the Goblin State Park. This is where we will stay until it’s time to head for our final summer destination: Colorado River State Park/James M. Robb in Grand Junction, CO and spending lots of time with our daughter-Lissi (Melissa).
We have enjoyed our stay here at Zion as we learned the history and culture of this area. As we do travel, our goal is to stay long enough to get the full benefits and to learn of the area. We seen many folks that came through here, spending only one night and then moving on. To us, we think, how can you say that you paid $25.00, the entrance fee, plus your camping fee, staying only one night just to say you stayed at Zion-makes no sense to us at all. You don’t get to enjoy the true beauty of the area or learn it’s history.
We seen many come and many go, some enjoying the spectacular view and even adventuring on the trails, including the famous Angels Landing. We do know that many don’t have the advantage that we do in traveling, and are only on a short vacation.
Many also come out to climb the humungous canyon walls as they repel upwards to the top. Or some come to do what is called canyoneering, which is repelling downwards deep into the canyon crevice to seek new adventures. Which means that they also have to wear wetsuits. Once down, they wade through water until they find an opening.
For us we have enjoyed the challenges in the hikes,
watching the repellers climbing the steep canyon walls,
even sleeping on the edge-literally…., 
watching varies wildlife,
We could jump on the bus anytime from sun up until 10:00pm for free; that takes you up and down the canyon,
or do a ranger led program.
One would never really get bored-unless they choose not to enjoy what there is to offer here. But the most memorable for us will be the hikes that we got to adventure on. We challenge our bodies as we have never done before. Angels Landing being the most challenge, but Observation Point being the most strenuous on our body. Unfortunately the one that I really wanted to do was the “Narrows”; which are closed due to a raging Virgin River. So I guess that will have to be yet another time when we happen to travel through this part of the area.
