The final family road trip destination was Zion National Park. It was so beautiful! Since we had the dogs with us, we opted to do two hikes in the morning while it was still cool enough for them to stay in the vehicle as they were not allowed to go with us. First, we started with the Riverside Walk Trail. The kids really enjoyed themselves. There were so many rocks to climb and rivers to traverse. They were completely in their element. We thoroughly loved watching them run and play. We, then, took the shuttle to our next hike -- Emerald Pools Trail. Aiden wasn't as excited about this trail as there were not as many rocks to climb. However, we all made it to the end to see the lower pool/falls. After our morning hikes, we went back to the car, enjoyed a picnic lunch and then concluded our day in the park with the only dog friendly hike, the Pa'rus Trail. The dogs loved it more than the kids! All in all, I think the kids did a pretty good job of hanging with us on the trails, especially since we walked more than seven miles in total that day. This was definitely one of our highlight trips of the year. I really hope that we can do this again in the upcoming year.
