We had our thanksgiving dinner with our family the Saturday before Thanksgiving because it was an "away" thanksgiving. So, Nick, Brett and I made reservations down in Zion's (actually Springdale) to stay and do some hiking in the park. We left on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, drove down and had a wonderful time. We had our Thankgiving dinner at the Switchback which was in the hotel we stayed in. Needless to say, it was fantastic! Prime rib, salmon, turkey, ham, real potatoes, asparagus, all kinds of fruits and veggies and all different kinds of pies. It was a buffet, so Brett was sure happy about that. In the evenings we went to some movies in Hurricane and just really enjoyed being down there. We are definitely going to do this again for Thanksgiving on an away year. You could drive your own car into the park, which you can't during the summer season, which was really nice. Here are some pictures:
I thought the jet airplane was beautiful in the blue skies. It was so clear, but cold. This was hiking to the mouth of the narrows.
This is the outside of our hotel with the beautiful red mountains behind. We just couldn't get enough of the gorgeous landscape.
These Rocky Mountain goats were right off the road. There were about 6 of them and it is amazing how they climb.
I like this picture. This is Brett after a climb up a steep sandstone rock to the weird looking pillars (they are called hoodoo's).
Nick and I in the narrows. It was pretty icy on the path and took us a while to get there, but it was worth it. It was so wonderful to take time off and just relax and have a good time, which we did. Thanks Nick and Brett for making it so much fun.
