Day 16. Sunday May 27
We decided to get up early and head to Zion. The kids had a trail they really wanted to do so we were hoping to get to the park before the big crowds. Little did we know that it was the busiest day of the year!
We arrived at Zion, had to park down the street and then walk in to the park. We waited in line for 1 hour before getting into the park and while we were waiting, the ranger came by and announced that the trail the kids wanted to do had a 1.5 hour wait at the last 1/2 mile of the trail which was the biggest draw of going on that trail. So instead they did the hidden canyon hike.
While the kids were hiking, I went to the next stop and walked the river walk. It was a nice walk, along the river to a spot where people continue hiking, but they have to walk through the river. Since I did not have the appropriate footwear, I turned around and went back to wait for the kids. On my walk, there were squirrels that were walking right at peoples feet and I saw some deer along the way.
When we were done, we went back to the hotel for a relaxing afternoon by the pool, ordered pizza for dinner and sat in the hotel lobby watching the celts game.
