Zion Trip - Day 4

We decided that we should go back to the main part of the canyon if we were going to get to do everything we had planned for the rest of the trip, so we left the East Rim a day early. We hiked the 5 miles back to the car which was alot easier since it was mostly downhill. We got back to the main part of the canyon by 3pm and went to the campground there. We set up our tents and then decided to take the shuttle through the canyon.

We got off the shuttle at Weeping Rock and discovered that we could see the Cable Mountain from there. That's where we had hiked the day before! We walked to Weeping Rock where the water comes right out of the rock.




After the shuttle ride, we went into Springdale, a small town just outside the west gate of Zion. We wanted to rent wet suits (and a dry suit for me) to hike the Narrows the next day. We also went out to eat that night at the Red Spotted Dog Restaurant and had a really nice meal.
