Another Great Spring Hike in Zion
I took another great hike today with my neighbor and friend Michael McBride--see previous posts of other hikes HERE. We went along the south rim of Eagle Crags Mesa to get views of the Virgin River Valley and Zion National Park from above Rockville, Utah. The trees and pastures along the river are starting to green-up and the skies extend forever and sun is out! What a glorious day! I will be traveling soon but will remember this great day! Below are some views on that hike looking down the Virgin Valley where our home is located--we feel so blessed to be in this beautiful place; it does deserve the name Zion. Enjoy!

Another Indian artifact--a stone tool--they are all over the place!

You're being too kind. Maybe I can or could do some serious expository writing? I've thought of trying it some day (not the dry academic stuff I used to do)--blogging has been a good outlet in combination with photography we'll see where it goes. Thanks.
