Day 8 - last day at Zion


We decided to take it easy today so after breakfast we walked along the Sand Beach Trail and turned off at the Court of the Patriarchs exit.  We walked up to the view point and took some pictures then followed an unnamed trail along the beach back to the Lodge.

We had lunch at the lodge then continued on the beach trail towards the Grotto (the trail we have taken twice before).  It is a nice trail with great views of the canyon with the Virgin River in the foreground.

We got some shots of the Angels Landing trail and folks zig zagging up the cliff.
After a rest and some packing we plan to head out to the Canyon Junction where we saw several photographers waiting for sunset yesterday. We will head up the Pa'rus Trail and be back for sunset.

We noticed prickly pear margaritas on the menu, so plan to celebrate our last night in Zion with one of those and a light dinner.  

Off to Moab tomorrow.
