Short trip to Zion/ Viaje al parque nacional Zion

We had a long weekend so we decided to Zion National Park. We were able to do some hikes that we didn't do last time like Hidden Canyon trail (both our favorite) and Watchman Trail. The Hidden Canyon trail was so pretty. It started very steep but then went to a "secret" (as in not many people go that far because the signs say you have to scramble) sandy, cool area with lots of moss and greens. 

It was fun to have a short stay where we didn't feel too stinky when we got home. My favorite part was Jamir cooking pancakes, eggs and sausages in the morning. Why does it taste so much better while camping?

Isn't that wall cool? 

This trail was like Angel's Landing because it has steep drop offs with chains to hold onto.



Jamir decided to take a bath in the freezing cold river. Crazy boy.

He sure felt better after though 
On the Archaeology trail. Sorry I didn't take pics of the Watchman trail. 

After a hot climb we relaxed by the river. I think in the summer we will swim in it because the beach is sandy and the water is calm.
