Here are a couple pictures from my trip to the Zion. My goodness, this place was magnificent. It was beautiful. It was amazing. It was breathtaking. I wish I would have been able to spend at least a week here so I could have had enough time to explore the entire park and just take it all in. I have always wanted to explore the world, and I am so blessed to have been able to go to two National Parks this summer. I hope I will be able to visit many more throughout my life.

| View from Weeping Rock |
I went with my two older brothers and my brother's friends. We explored Weeping Rock and Narrows Trail. Weeping Rock is the shortest trail at the park. It's only a half mile round trip, which took us about 15 min to hike. Beware it's short, but kind of steep. The view at the top was so nice though. We got wet because there was water dripping from the top of the path. Almost as if the rock was weeping. Hence the name?
Next, we took the shuttle higher up into the mountains and hiked Narrows Trail. I loved Narrows Trail. Narrows Trail was given the name due to it being the most narrow section of the Zion. The hike involved wading, walking, running, and trying to survive literally walking through the river. I'd hate to compare every single hike I've been on, but this has got to be one of my top ones. I really felt like I was being one with nature because it wasn't a walk along a paved road or a mountain trail but an untouched trail made by nature, not man. You can't tell from the pictures but the current was intense. My friend even got knocked over a couple of times. It was pretty funny to watch haha.
