Day 8 - The Southwesternest point of the trip

I woke up in Zion National Park, the southwestern most point in this trip. 311 miles from Phoenix and about the same to LA.  I mean, as I sit here writing this, this is the view out my restaurant window:
Grateful is the best word to describe how I feel.  After a leisurely start, Mike and I went to the Temple of Sinawava and hiked to the Narrows. Geez, is that beautiful or what? And the water felt so refreshing! 

We met Kevin and Maggie of Federal Way Washington who were on a tour. Nice couple and spent over an hour with them saying hello. By 3:00 pm we were packed and ready and took to I-15 and made a b-line to Salt Lake City in about 5 hours. 
I am excited to know Beth is flying in to join me for a week and sad to see Mike leave after about a week - it's been very good time I have spent with my friend. We have been to some very good places - some very special memories we have shared brother. Safe travels home Mike. And at the same time I am excited to make new shared memories with Beth once she gets here!


Happy Pioneer Day! See the fireworks?
