Hiking in Zion National Park

On our way South, we stopped for the weekend to enjoy the great outdoors (and finally some warm weather) in Zion National park.

Saturday we did three hikes - for a total of about 6 miles. First, the Overlook Trail:

Then we hiked down to a slot canyon - but we didn't know the name of the trail. We had to stop when it got icey and slippery.

The last hike of the day was Emerald Pools. We did the entire loop to all three pools.

Sunday we hiked the Watchman Trail. About 3.2 miles round trip. Every hike in Zion is amazing!

The Canyons Ski Resort, Park City, Utah

We actually thought skiing The Canyons was much better than Park City. The terrain was more diverse, better steeps, better powder, better lifts, way fewer flats! We'd definitely go back!

Park City, Utah

After spending the better part of five days traveling across I-80 through Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming, it was time for a break and to have some fun!

How perfect that Park City is on the way home! Here we are! Our first RV Park in the new rig:

We hooked up at the Park City RV Resort on Friday afternoon. Since we've become spoiled mid-week skiers, and we don't want to break our tradition... over the weekend, we organized the new home: Lined cabinets, figured out what goes where, who gets which drawers and closets, spent money at Camping World, Costco and Walmart. By Sunday night we felt pretty much settled in.

Now it's time for some fun!

It snowed Sunday - so Monday skiing was EPIC! We took Tuesday off to explore the town; then enjoyed great powder conditions on Wednesday. Two days of Park City skiing was just right! Tomorrow, we'll ski The Canyons.

Life is good...
