High desert country ride...Zion National Park. Utah
A recent vacation with my youngest daughter Amelia...she is from Vancouver and I from Edmonton. Exposure to the desert country of Utah and Nevada very different from what either of us are familiar with....one highlight was a Sunday afternoon half day, 3 hour trail ride for Amelia and I..saw the Three Patriarchs, the Beehives, a breathtaking trip through beautiful cactus gardens, the Virgin River, the Court of the Patriarchs, a trip around the Sandbench Trail, gradually ascending 500 feet giving a spectacular view of the Southern end of Zion National Park....the head wrangler named Curley gave much of the local history....also did some sort trail hikes on own and saw a pair of wild turkeys.
