Zion: Temple of Sinawava

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

The Temple of Sinawava is the last shuttle stop in Zion.  It is here that you can take a mile long hike to the beginning of the Narrows, a tall slot canyon.  While we did make the hike back to the beginning of The Narrows, we had to stop instead of trekking forward as we desired.  Soon, you will see why we needed to stop. The trail to The Narrows is set up so you could take a wheelchair down it.  It wouldn’t be easy, in my opinion, but it would be possible.  The Virgin River passes by you on…

Zion: Weeping Rock

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

After getting off the shuttle bus, we took a nice hike up to Weeping Rock. At the top of the trail, you could stand under a mellow waterfall.  The spritzing droplets of water helped cool the air around us.  Some people were taking some of the wet, red clay and rubbing it on their skin. Munchkin liked looking out over the landscape below and snapping pictures while the water dripped unto the ledge. Munchkin and I took turns taking the following shots.  A couple of trees made this fun archway across the hiking trail. The final stop at our Zion…

Review: For You They Signed

Posted in Reviews

For You They Signed The Spiritual Heritage of Those Who Shaped Our Nation by Marilyn Boyer When you look at the famous painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, how many of the signers can you recognize?
