Zion National Park requires careful planning. Summer weather can be unpredictable, narrow canyons are subject to flooding, dangerous cliffs are abundant. The park is home to 67 species of mammals, 207 birds, 35 reptiles and amphibians and 9 fish.
Linda and I saw several different kinds of reptiles. We had hoped to see the condors but, you take what you get. We managed to view a deer back in one of the canyons. I think maybe because of the high temperatures, while we were there, the wildlife stayed pretty much secluded.
Lots of wildflowers and cactus were in bloom, while we were there. We had wanted to hike the narrows but could not, the high waters being the culprit. We hiked early in the morning and then hung around the swimming pool, in the campground, in the afternoons.
We enjoyed Zion and think about returning, but maybe in a different season.
