July 31st
Zion National Park. Wow. Up early and into the park. Bountiful pancakes in the parking lot! Shuttle bus out to our hike for the day -- Hidden Canyon. It was amazing. Elevation gain of 850 feet, with several spots that had chains to hold on to as you crossed rather wiggy open cliff. But, the payoff... the views and a chance to explore the Hidden Canyon. We found two Mexican Spotted Owls (only 2400 in the world) asleep in a tree and hiked back into the canyon checking out the cool rock formations. What an accomplishment for all of us.
Drove on to Las Vegas (thanks to Nate for finding us the room since we had no internet access at Zion). A quick dip in the pool and sleep - off to Yosemite tomorrow.
