Zion National Park

Day 54 - Today we rode from Cedar City to Springdale, Utah and Zion National Park. With a 5 AM wake up we were able to get on the road around 6 AM. Today's ride was fairly easy as the grade was downhill the majority of the way and my group reached Springdale (just outside of Zion) by 11:30 AM - just in time for some PBJ! After lunch we broke into groups to enter the park a few at a time. After finding our campsite we unloaded the van before jumping on the shuttle to head up the canyon a bit where we found a swimming spot in the Virgin River that runs through the park. The water was cold but very refreshing. When we got back to camp we enjoyed a delicious dinner of Spaghetti, bread and watermelon prepared by Nick, Alex and Sehee. Many of us headed to bed early as we will rise early tomorrow to hike Angels Landing before it gets warm.
