Zion National Park!

Oh I LOVE National Parks! I've been to so so many! And I've been to all the ones in Utah! Last weekend we went to Zion National Park, which was SO much fun. I love to hike and look for desert toads in the streams. I love to get my passport stamped and work on my Jr. Ranger Badges. I just LOVE National Parks.

One of the neatest things to look for in Zion NP is the carved sandstone. Can you see that the river has carved out the stone and left it looking all striped?
It is so pretty!
I stop to look for desert toads at one of the deeper pools. I don't see any (but I have seen them in Zions before!) but I do see water skeeters.
I love Southern Utah.
And I love Zion Canyon.
Did you remember that I have a National Park album? I've gone to so many parks that I decided to put them all in one big album!

I love your pictures, Violet! The deep blue sky and the little spiky cactus look just like they did when I was there! So neat.

Zion National Park looks amazing! I've been to Yosemite National Park and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but that's it. They are both really neat! Zion looks like a fun place to visit, too! :)

Hi Violet,
Great photos of Zion! I think it's really neat that you've been to so many national parks. My family keeps going to the same one over and over again. But it's never the same twice, so it's actually a lot of fun. I bet you'll get to all the national parks in your life!
hugs,
