Hi, On Oct 21, I had the opportunity to hike the West Rim trail from Lava Point to the Grotto picnic area. The hike was a stenuous 14.5 miles which took almost ten hours to complete. There was a drop of elevation of 3600 feet. The weather was wonderful and the views were awesome. I shot over 100 pictures so I posted 16 of them in the Nature folder. I took the lightweight Nikon Coolpix 4500 along to try to capture the beauty of Zion National Park. http://www.utahastronomy.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=Nature&page=1 Debbie
