Day 52 - Winter in Zion National Park

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” 
― John Muir,





We woke up and went into Zions.  We've never been during the winter, and it was chilly, but…amazing without the crowds there.  We always meet the nicest people in Zions.  Seriously, always!  We stopped to do the Emerald Pools hike and as we were crossing the bridge from the parking lot a lady stopped us and asked if we had a camera she could take a picture of us together, "Mom's always get left out of pictures and you need to have some with your children."  She said she booked the hotel in Springdale by accident and her husband was really grouchy about driving through the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.  She kept telling him, "I bet in the morning this is going to be beautiful."  Then she pointed down to the trail across he river, "That's him down there.  The one with the camera."   What is the old saying, nothing happens by mistake.

The weather was beautiful!  I think I like Zions better during the winter than the spring.
