Zion National Park - August 22, 2017

We boarded the free shuttle and headed to River Walk, the last stop on the route.  Hiked to the start of the Narrows

River Walk was an easy trail that follows the Virgin River.

Arriving at the start of the Narrows hike. The Narrows is a hike through the river.

We didn't rent the river shoes and neoprene socks so we wore our Keens, and rolled up our pant legs.

We headed back down to the shuttle stop, then we rode the shuttle to the Visitor's Center, got our stamp and walked to a coffee shop just outside the Park for lattes.

Next we hiked a portion of the Watchman Trail - hot

Stopped at a shady spot to cool off
