Zion National Park is located in the southern Utah desert. Though it encompasses nearly 330 square miles, the most well known portion is an eight-mile-long canyon carved by the Virgin River. Evidence of human activity in the region goes back more than 7,000 years.

We stayed in a cottage here with a kitchenette. There was a pool and
hot tub on the grounds, as well as picnic tables and swing-chairs.

It was hot, I needed a lot of water during our hikes in the canyon.
