This summer we will be going to Zion

And it is going to be sweet! I cant wait to hike the trails and enjoy the beauty of the area. We will have a day or two when we are there, until then here is a nice picture from our last visit in November of 2008.

LaVerkin Overlook, just west of Zion Park

This is a short 360 degree video of the LaVerkin Overlook, east of LaVerkin Utah and west of the main gate of Zion National Park. I filmed this on November 23 2008. What an amazing place to see the sunset behind the mountains and deserts west of Hurricane and St George Utah!

To get to this location:

After you drive thru Hurricane and up the hill from LaVerkin on your way to Zion, this is the first right you can make off of the highway. The road is dirt/gravel and about 1 mile long, but the view is amazing and worth the trip. In clear weather you can drive any passenger car to this outlook, but in the rain/snow I would recommend a truck with 4x4.

Zion National Park is beautiful, pictures of a great hike on emerald pool trail

I took these pictures when I was hiking in late November 2008.

Here are some from the Emerald Pools trail, lower and middle pool. The waterfall was not flowing strong at the top pool, so we just went up to the middle one.

It was great to see as much water flowing at the end of the dry season before the winter rain and snow.

Ill be posting more soon from other locations and from other years. Keep checking back often and feel free to comment on your adventures on the emerald pools trail at Zion national park in Utah.
