Water Falls & Mountain Views

We moved to a new campsite this morning.  There was one amazing site in the South Campground and Terri had been keeping an eye on it the last three days.  On one of our walks last night we struck up a conversation with the man who had site #77.  He said he was going to be leaving this morning, so we were ready at 7:00 am to move into the best site in the campground.

An unobstructed view of the mountains next to the Virgin River.  Looking North.
Looking South.
Look close, Eva standing on the front dash with the mountains reflected in the windshield.
The river is about 50 feet from the RV so we can hear the rapids from our bedroom window.  A "10" spot in a "10" location.

We went on our best hike since arriving here in Zion National Park.  We did a 3.7 mile hike that included Upper and Lower Emerald Pools.  The first half was an easy walk to the Falls, the second half was a lot of climbing on sand covered stones to get to the top pool.

Up through the gaps.
We walked behind this falls.

Terri added to the cairn collection on the way past.

It was in the high 80's today so I stood in the waterfall on the way back down.  It felt really good.  I told Terri we should jump in the Virgin River when we got back down.

We stayed out of the river, but it was sure tempting.

Life is good... Terri's turn to hold the rocks up so I could pass under... team work.
