A Running Doc’s Life: Zion National Park!

We got back from a family vacation in Zion National Park. We stayed in Laverkin, Utah, and it was only a 30 min drive to the park. What a trip. I took sooooo many pictures…literally “thousands” of them! The scenery was awesome! The hiking was even better! I will give you a brief tour of what we did, in picture form. Many of these views do not need any words. Just take them in. So, here goes!

The hiking and views were amazing. In the next series of pictures, you will see what it was like hiking up there, and some views of us hiking as well.

One day we then took a drive from there and went to Page, Arizona. We got to see Horseshoe Canyon, and then Antelope Canyon. Antelope Canyon was incredible. It is on Navajo land, and so we had a tour by a Navajo guide. Wow! I am still in awe of the scenery, and to think this was all created in sand by wind and water…and thousands of years! So, hang on…here comes this tour!

Horseshoe canyon was only 7 miles from here, so of course we had to go there and hike also. Well worth the stop!

Each day we spent out hiking somewhere. Things overall had some similarities, yet they were all different views. Here comes your next tour!

I have always said a picture says a thousand words! I can’t say it any better than actually showing you the views. This is why we exercise every day. This is why we take care of our health. If we would not stay in shape, we would have missed out on so much of this scenery. You have to become a part of it to be able to appreciate it, and really be able to see it. Of course, there were several times in Laverkin where we went to the top of a mountain to take in the sunsets! I can’t miss out on great sunsets!

There you have it. A very brief, but picturesque view of what we saw on vacation. A trip to remember forever! Appreciate each day for what it is. There is always something to see no matter where you are at. We are just now taking advantage of different areas to appreciate. You truly are only seeing a “fraction” of the pictures I took. I have been looking them over for a little bit each evening to take me right back to where we were. Loved it! Seize the moments. And remember, keep moving everybody! There are lots of things to see out in this world!
