Bumbleberry Pie, Wildcat Willies, and Zion

We started our Zion adventure at a Motel called the Bumbleberry Inn. The desk clerk insisted that we try the world famous Bumbleberry Pie. So Ron was up to the task and to please our friend Bill Askew,  we had it a la mode. The other delight of staying at this Inn was the free breakfast at Wildcat Willies. You could order anything from the menu and after assembly line meals at Holiday Inn's, this was so refreshing.

So next, it was off the Zion to conquer some trails there. I made it to Upper Emerald Pools on a truly ROCKY ROAD.

After that hike we walked along the River Trail and Ron prided himself as being a squirrel whisper. They would stand up when he called to them. After our hike to the Emerald Pools we took a dip in the Virgin River.

Then we looked up on the shore and Ron's pet squirrel had opened our backpack and was eating our peanut butter filled pretzels.

After an amazing dinner at Wildcat Willies, Ron and I went back into Zion at midnight to take some wonderful photos of the Milky Way over the canyons.

We are off to Lower Antelope canyons and Escalante.
