This morning it was more about hiking. We started out at the visitor's center and had the kids sworn in as Jr. Rangers and then it was off to the shuttle. We took the shuttle to the end of the canyon where the canyons are steep and it is much cooler. On the shuttle ride we saw a mama deer with her baby. We did a trail called the Riverside Walk that led into the Narrows. The trail was a nice, easy trail that meandered next to the Virgin River. The canyons are so tall around you and they have ferns and other fauna growing out of them and there is water seeping out of the rocks too. We saw another deer a few feet away eating from the tree. When that trail ends it leads you straight into the Narrows which is named this because it is just the river and the tall canyons around you so the hiking is through the river. We went quite far until the water started getting to Leah's waist and then it was time to turn around. The current was quite strong but it was fun… Noah had the best time with this one. After that was done it was back to the shuttle to see Weeping Rock. It was a short hike up to a small cave that had water pouring or weeping from the top of it. It also had a plants hanging down from it… very beautiful! On the way down we saw yet another deer a few feet away. Then it was back to camp for lunch and some rest and relaxation. A great way to spend our last day!
