We left Tusayan and the Grand Canyon this morning, heading northwards. We stopped for lunch at lake Powel, and drove to our hotel which will be our base camp for the coming days. A very short break, just the time to drop the bags.

We then drove to Zion National Park for a late afternoon visit – we arrived at 16:30. We took the shuttle bus to the trailhead of the temple of Sinawava.

We hiked for 30mins until the Canyon was too narrow and the trail stopped… and then, inspired by many others, we continued, barefooted, up the river. The hike became magical.

We walked for another hour before turning around.

We came back to the hotel quite late, after a stop at McDonalds.
