Such gorgeous pictures of this fantastic place. We were there in late summer and did the up on the first bus thing too but we like that anyway. I was hoping to return in the less crowded fall. Guess not. So thanks for all the stunning photography.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-75592299291959002452017-10-16T11:05:34.448-07:002017-10-16T11:05:34.448-07:00You were very lucky to get a spot in the park - th...You were very lucky to get a spot in the park - there weren't any available in the surrounding area when we were there. And zero parking to even think about getting a shuttle :-) Sure glad you did all that hiking so we can see more of the park.

They wrote about the billion people in Zion. They got the shuttle at 7:00 AM. I can't imagine waiting in that line, jamming into the bus, then hiking any trail in a congo line. Who does that!! Maybe people will finally get disgusted and stop coming. I'd love to return but haven't decided the best time of the year. Glad you had a few nice days. Glad Observation Point wasn't crowded so you could enjoy it. Your photos are beautiful:)<br /><br />Happy Birthday, Jim!

The landscape that you captured in your photos is breathtaking! A very happy birthday to Jim. Being in Zion I'm sure will make it very special. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-79372767651358237932017-10-15T10:57:33.525-07:002017-10-15T10:57:33.525-07:00Very sweet of you to mention my art❤️Very sweet of you to mention my art❤️Bobbie Johnson Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950693722720827895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-65863368417180222252017-10-15T09:28:58.108-07:002017-10-15T09:28:58.108-07:00Great pictures, we have yet to visit there:(Great pictures, we have yet to visit there:(Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-46389273955752668692017-10-15T06:36:36.276-07:002017-10-15T06:36:36.276-07:00The early bird certainly gets the trails to themse...The early bird certainly gets the trails to themselves at National Parks!

The early morning start and 2200 feet of elevation gain probably had something to do with that. :-) Love that tiny home, but I can't imagine towing it.

We did Watchman trail with our girls many years ago. They fell in love with hiking. Your photos are outstanding!<br /><br />Weeping Rock is beautiful. How awesome to be able to hike without hearing others chit chat. Looking down on Angels Landing is stunning.<br /><br />Happy early birthday wish Jim.
