Day #44 - Zion National Park.

Today was awesome. We actually slept in until 7:45 this morning :). Mrs. Swengel drove Cameron, Matt and I to Zion National Park, and we spent the day hiking trails. A shuttle bus took us around the park and told us the history of the place.


We hiked up a river and spent a lot of the time swimming up stream and jumping off boulders. We hiked 4 miles up river with two other hikers we along the way, then turned back and headed down stream.


Today reached 102 degrees. Oh. Yeah. I learned a new word today, netsuke. I'm not exactly sure what it means but I do know it's pronounced net-ska. It's a miniature object worn on sashes, invented in the 17th century by the Japanese. Tomorrow we are biking 116 miles to the border of Nevada. After that only 7 days left on the road :).

  3. Hey Stephen
    The scouts have left the boundary waters and we're headed home.
    I've been catching up on your blogs. I would love to go to Zion
    National Park.
    You have had some really amazing adventures!
    We had a great time - canoed almost 70 miles - saw lots of wildlife-
    swam, jumped off cliffs and fished.
    Take care,
    Your friend,
    Mr. Fusaro
