Sept. 27th & 28th

Barry and I travelled to see Butch Cassidy’s boy hood home.

His name was Robert Leroy Parker.  He was 14 when they moved to this home and left when he was 18.  His family was Morman and he was the oldest of 13. 

He worked for a farmer with the last name of Cassidy and learned to butcher from another, therefore,  Butch Cassidy!!

We visited Zion National Park yesterday.   Entering the East entrance and the view was so beautiful.  We drove through the very long tunnel.

We rode the shuttle to the scenic area from the Visitor center, only way to see unless you wanted to rent bikes.

First, we went to the Narrows and hiked back to the area where we could cross the creek. We didn’t go any further, even though we thought about it. The water has very high algae and could not go through it with any cuts.

We hiked from the Grotto to the Zion Lodge.  Then, to the Lower Emerald Pools Trail.

At the Lower Pool, a waterfall. However, with it being September, was very full. The cliff was really awesome, I walked up steps and around to the other side.

See the water falling from above?

The last two days have been great days to hike. We enjoyed seeing the areas of Utah.
