Down from the Mountain.

The Kadizzles have been visiting Zion National Park every year for about the last eight years. In all that time we never were up on Gooseberry Mesa. This year we met a senior mountian biker in Mesa who told us about the Mesa. We just spent two days up there. It is some of the best mountain biking in the country. We hiked six miles yesterday along the rim. Seeing where the mountain bikers ride is amazing. There are several place where the bike trail is withing two feet of a thousand foot cliff. The view at the southwest end of the mesa is probably one of the most spectacular in the United States. There is no way to to describe all the things you can see from one vantage point. The Grand Canyon does not compare. Now we are down in Zion. This year the weather god has smiled on us. During the last three months we only had one rainy day, and the rain was at night. The string of warm sunny days has set a new record. The Axtmans from Hazen will join us next week.
