In the second of our two part Zion National Park series, we hiked the Zion's famed Narrows, wading through the refreshingly cool Virgin River.

Zion National Park
This two part series will be a hike down memory lane. Our 2015 visit to Zion National Park took us along beautiful trails by foot and by horseback. There is much to be explored in Utah's national parks.
Follow Me to Tuolumne
Less visited than the Yosemite Valley, Tuolumne Meadows is a jewel along Highway 120 on the eastern side of the park, with miles of hiking trails, domes to climb, and the pristine Tuolumne River sunning through it.
Petrified Forest National Park
Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona was another amazing park on our Spring Break Southwest Roadtrip. The landscape born of volcanic activity, sediment deposits, and geologic uplift looked as if it truly were a desert scene of vibrant color painted on canvas. The national park preserves petrified logs, as well as ancient petroglyphs and desert formations.
El Malpais National Monument
After four full days of visiting Ruidoso, New Mexico, we headed to Flagstaff, Arizona for the next leg of our Spring Break Southwest Roadtrip, stopping along the way in the scenic and geologically interesting El Malpais National Monument.
