We'd managed to get 2 more days reserved at Zion so our first job in the morning was to move our trailer over to our new site in the A loop. Quite an upgrade as here the sites were paved and gravelled. Seems we forgot to take a picture , but this meant no more puddles, no more mud.
And the view was just as fabulous.
It was Saturday the busiest day of the week so our strategy was to pick the least popular hike to avoid the worst of the crowds. We chose the Watchman Trail as it left right from our campground and my reasoning was that most people would want to hike in the main canyon.
A good strategy but because we had to wait to move our trailer we were a little late. Still busy but not crazy making.
And still muddy.
Our destination was this flat spot with a nice view over the valley.
Big rock waiting to crush someone.
What has Leo spotted?
A scrub jay!
We made it to the top for the obligatory pose.
Our photos somehow managed to make it look like we were the only ones on the hike but someone had to take this picture.
Our view back to the campground.
Made it back down the hill only slightly worse for wear.
