Hiking Guide Photos
Time for a fun visit to the horse and mule corral across from the Zion Lodge! |
Buttercup the Mule makes his way over the hikers' bridge near the Court of the Patriarchs. |
The Sand Bench Trail makes its way into the Court of the Patriarchs; the views are excellent! |
Heading south on the loop. Many fallen boulders are sprinkled throughout the area. |
One of the outstanding viewpoints near the southern tip of the loop. Who knew that we were this high up above the road? |
The most impressive section of the trail is the western loop. Here we can clearly see that we are standing on a massive ancient landslide. |
Back down by the beautiful banks of the Virgin River... |
Buttercup says: "Gee whiz, Pacer! Those tourists sure have me tired!" |
