Zion, again!

Well, today we went to Zion National Park with our friends the Porters. We hiked the Sand Bench trail, which, according to our park information, is a horse trail in the summer and a hiking trail in the winter. It says right in the description to hike this trail in, "Late October to March, before the trail rides begin for the season. It's possible to avoid horses by hiking before 7am or after 5pm the rest of the year." However, we did see a few horses on the trail. I guess by "October to March" they really meant "October to March 1." Oh well, there weren't too many horses, and it was a fun trail. Lots of sand. Hence the name. And here are some pictures! My foot is in the deep, deep sand, just wanted to capture that. And the people you probably don't recognize are the Porters - Brandon, Danielle, and Laneah (one of the cutest babies I know). And who doesn't want to see a picture of a baby sucking on a backpack, really?
