Weeping Rock

Remember Weeping Rock in Zion National Park? I have very clear pictures in my mind of that hike, and of the numbers along the way that corresponded to short explanations in a little pamphlet you got at the trailhead. I remember the "grotto" type place at the end that dripped a lot...and felt really good on your hot neck.

Are we having fun yet?

"Hiking" in comfort

Cheesy grin and a darling boy


Somehow it doesn't surprise me that the trail is WAY shorter than I remember. Or that there aren't numbers anymore--they have plaques with color photos and explanations. And of course you can't drive in the canyon anymore--you have to park in the visitors center and take a shuttle bus to the trailheads.

No car seats here!


But that was fine with the kids. They probably loved the bus more than the hikes and rocks and water. And I'm okay with that. They had a good time, Bradley and I had a good time, and it was nice to do some awesome stuff with our kiddos.

What an exhausting "hike" that was!
