Not Zoo, But It's Zion; 7th Day in the States

On the 7th Day, almost middle day of our 15-day-journey, we went to Zion National Park again. We met unfamiliar animals that were seen only in a zoo. I didn’t know why Ostrich were kept in the ranch. For eggs, for food ….? Neither were Elk.




We, four members, went hiking to the Emerald Pools. The Emerald Pools consisted of three pools, easy walk to lower Pool, moderate to middle and strenuous to upper.

From April through October, the scenic drive in Zion Canyon is closed to private vehicles, and visitors ride the shuttle buses. The picture was taken in front of the visitor center. As it was still in March, we could go to every part of parking places by our car, so we didn't ride on them.
The whole our journey to the US national parks was over and we headed to Las Vegas, 250km away from Zion.
