Zion National Park

Thursday, 16th September 2010 to Friday 17th September 2010

We travelled down the scenic driveway through the outstandingly beautiful Zion Gorge to Springfield and spent the afternoon and evening wallowing in abject luxury at the Desert Pearl Inn.  Our beautiful room overlooked the river and the mountains, and after relaxing in the beautiful pool and jacuzzi, we travelled up the Kolob road to where Butch Cassidy and his Hole in the Wall Gang had their hidaway in the film.

We spent the following morning walking a canyon trail, which was amazing; the butterflies, birds, lizards, frogs and toads were really fantastic, but the highlight was definately seeing a beautiful marbled whipsnake.
