Afternoon at "Nude Pool" at Zion... Historical name, so we were told, no nudity these days.

Our 4th of July fireworks from balcony! Playing with the "real camera", no tripod, on the balcony at the lodge.

So I always carry the real camera, but surely tonight there would be nothing the cell phone couldn't handle at dinner. Can you see the big horn sheep just above the Lodge putting on a show, where they never see them.... You could if I had brought the real camera!

Hiking the Narrows on the 4th at Zion is about as good as it gets!

Our Official National Park #25 picture. Zion has caused me to reevaluate my list of favorite Parks!

Happy cool (67°) 4th of July from the Zion NP Lodge. It's going to be a great day for a hike or two!

The welcoming committee when we arrived at Zion National Park Lodge. National Park number 25!

To say Zion is awesome doesn't come close to doing it justice! Barely 30 minutes in the park we had played on a wave-like rock formation, seen a herd of bighorn sheep, and started on the hike that ended at this waterfall.

Chloe and I made the very hot walk down to Horseshoe Bend. No rails, this is as close as we got for a selfie.
