Zions Part 2

As we got closer to the end of the trail there were a lot of big rocks that the kids could climb on.
I think this was their favorite part.  They loved climbing up the really big rocks.
I had fun climbing up and down the rocks with the kids.
There were so many different views and they were all beautiful.
Everywhere you turned there was something different and beautiful to look at.
Wyatt and Hallee would climb up the rocks, come back down and then go climb them again. They tried to get up faster each time.
This area was my favorite. It was breathtaking.
It looks like a picture out of a magazine.  I could have stayed here all day.
I love the sound of rushing water hitting the rocks. 
Hallee and Wyatt took good care of me to make sure I didn't fall when we climbed back down the rocks.
Wyatt always gave me his hand, it was so sweet.
We had fun climbing and exploring together.
At first Hallee was nervous about climbing the rocks so Wyatt would go first and then give her a hand.
Sometimes they would start dancing on the rocks, it was so cute.
This was the end of the trail.  This is where the Narrows trail starts, so if you want to keep hiking you have to go through the water.
I loved when the kids asked me to take funny pictures.
I love how the leaves make a heart in this picture.
After we enjoyed that beautiful spot for a while we headed back down the trail.
It was fun to have a whole different point of view on the way down.
I love the red rock mountains.
After that we took the shuttle down a few stops and tried to find another trail we wanted to do, but we never found it, so we went down another stop to the Weeping Rock trail.
This is a short, but very steep trail, so Keith and Hallee didn't want to do it.
There is constant water dripping off the rocks which is why they call it Weeping Rock.
If you look close you can see the water falling behind us.
It was really cool, I'm glad we did it.  The view is amazing and it was really cool to look at it through the dripping water. 
It was a quick hike, but it sure was pretty.
After that we went down a few shuttle stops to an overview. It was another short, steep trail. 
It took us to a lookout where we had a great view of the Court of the Patriarchs. They named these mountains, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
We only stayed there for a minute and then we headed back down.
After that we were all hot and tired and ready to head home.  We had a great day.  There were a few things we wanted to do that we didn't get to, but we loved what we were able to do.
