Kolob Canyons, Zion National Park, Utah

We had intended to drive into Zion National Park but heard how long the lines were to enter and decided to skip it this time.  We've been there a couple times in the past and didn't want to fight all the other tourists.  

So, we went to another canyon today and loved it.  It is much smaller and less congested and just as spectacular.  Once again my description of the canyons can't do it justice so I will let our photos show you.

Here's looking at you.

Looks a little shaky to me.

Think I will buy some of that 35.9 cent gas

Who you looking at?

 We went geocaching after the trip up the canyon and picked up 15 geocaches along a dirt road.  Included in the caches were two earth caches that expose you to geological areas and you have to answer questions about what you saw.

We had a great day and thoroughly enjoyed the drive through the canyon with all the beautiful views.  It even rained while we were there and that only made it more special.  It was 50 degrees at the top of the canyon and a little chilly for us.  

I hope you all had a nice day like we had.
