UTAH, Zion Canyon

Zion Canyon was not only beautiful to look at, but the park has a lot to offer. After the two weeks we stayed there, we needed another vacation just to relax from Zion. There were many hikes with breath taking views, and educational ranger led programs during the day and in the evening.
