I had been wanting to go to Zion one last time before it got to cold-- then the Government decided to go all shut down mode and shut down all the national parks, including Zion. So it was a no go until Utah was given the okay to open up some of their parks. They had plans to open up 100% on Sat. but said they were opening partially Friday afternoon-- which would be free to get in. It was a beautiful day so I texted Adam said that we will meet him in St. George as soon as he gets off work and then we would all head up to Zion! It was the perfect night. We got there around 6 and because most of the trails were still closed off- it was still pretty quiet around the area. We headed up through the tunnels to do the "Overlook" hike. I had actually never done it before and it was beautiful. It was only about a 2 mile hike- perfect for us carrying Lincoln and Norah. We also got super lucky and saw Moutain sheep all over! I have never once seen one while hiking in Zion before and now we literally saw 10-20. Lincoln was loving it especially.
We got to the lookout just as the sun was setting behind the mountains!
After our hike we headed back down to Springdale and got some dinner at a local Mexican restaurant- which was pretty tasty. I loved our little night and it felt like a mini vacation getting out and about!
