Ben, Jay, Weihaw, and I hiked the Riverside Walk, along the Virgin
River, at Zion National Park.
The Riverside Walk is a flat, paved walking trail filled with
people who want to get a glimpse of the Temple of Sinawava, near the
entrance to the Narrows. At this time, the river was too cold and
swift to permit wading up to the entrance, however. Along the path
are interpretive signs.
Then, suddenly, the trailed turn in toward the mountain and we
were going through this Narrows-like canyon. Cool! Literally, too.
The shade was a welcome relief from the hot sun. I think it must have
been on this part of the trip or the next day when I slightly
sunburned the top of my head. Yes, right through my hair. Next time
I'm wearing a hat!
Virgin River flows behind me next to the Riverside
Walk.
