Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play .
We actually saw buffalo, deer, and antelope within days of each other as we headed into Utah. We said goodbye to our friends in Prescott and headed north to visit a previously unexplored state for us, Utah.
But first along the way in Page, AZ we stopped to view the Glenn Canyon Dam and appreciate the beauty of Lake Powell one more time before heading north to Zion National Park. Once again the scenery along the way was beautiful. Here's our boys being forced into yet another pose for the camera! I love being a parent!
As we drove into the park, we were impressed by the massive canyon walls and the array of colors from cream to pink to red on those towering cliffs.
We saw our first herd of buffalo; met a great heron perched on a rock in the stream while on a hike; startled a mule deer in the woods; and had a chance to admire some crazy rock climbers. Just another typical day at Zion National Park.
P.S. The antelope were spotted the next day at Bryce Canyon Nat'l Park
Zion is unique in that we experience the view from the bottom of the canyon rather than the top like we did at the Grand Canyon. It gives you an interesting perspective as you meander along the trails on the valley floor.
