Zion National Park - riding into the promised land

Riding into Zion I couldn't stop singing the song from Fiddler On the Roof: "Wonder of Wonders." Going as slow as we could to savor every second. We talked about what it would be like to take over a neighborhood in a major city with just bike people, and outlaw cars. All deliveries for the neighborhood would have to stop outside the stone barriers, deliver their goods to bike messengers with XtraCycles and Bikes At Work trailers, who would then bike the goods into the car-free zone...

When I'm in Zion, I feel like "why the hell not!? The world's too beautiful for a community-organized car-less neighborhood to not exist."

My mom and my friend Mo, from Logan, joined my dad and I down in Zion and they'll be with us til St. George (the end o the line). In the meantime we had a great time hiking in Zion:

These folks were made for walking, and that's just what they'll do....
