While still in Zion National Park, UT, we decided to try the Watchman Trail. It starts at the Visitor's Center. It was a medium hike that seemed like a good idea, but we didn't get started until late (around 3:00). As a result, we decided just a short distance up the trail to make the hike another day. The trail follows the east bank of the river for a while and looked really nice in the afternoon sunlight.
Passing by the Visitor's Center again on the way home the details of the center architecture caught our attention. If we end up settling in a desert climate somewhere, I think it would be a nice goal to build a home that is energy independent (at least, energy efficient).
Reading reviews of campgrounds in Zion, by fall the ants are unbearable. That's another reason to come in March, they are just waking up from the winter.
