A short horse/mule ride in Zion.
Not nearly as epic or scenic as our Bryce Canyon ride, it was still a worth while adventure.
It was very hot, so we ate, got cool drinks and sat under the biggest Cottonwood I've ever seen.
Then we went on a short, but strenuous hike up to the Emerald Pools.

Then we went on another short hike along the river.
