Weekend Getaway

For my birthday this year Brian gave me a weekend give away to Zions Park and St. George.  He found a Groupon for Zions Ponderosa Resort, a place neither of us had ever heard of.  It was such a fun place to stay.  The resort is on the east end of the park, outside of the park.  It's up in the mountains.  Once we got there we could see why the Groupon deal was only for March and April.  The resort had a ton of activities and an amazing pool. However, the pool had 2 inches of ice on it and all of the activities were closed for the season.  It would be a super fun place to go in the summer.  We stayed in a little cabin, when I say little I mean little as in no bathroom in the cabin.  The bathrooms were really close and nice and clean.  We had so much fun.  We headed to St. George on Saturday to go mountain biking.  We rode the Zen Trail which was extremely technical.  We had to carry our bikes pretty much the first half, over boulders and such. I may or may not have been a good sport through the entire trail.  Overall it was a great ride.  Brian really enjoyed it.  The weather was SO nice, especially for early March.  Here's some pics of our getaway.
 In our cabin. This is a horrible picture taken from my phone with horrible lighting.
 If you look closely you can see Brian in this picture.  He's coming down the 3 Fingers of Death.  It looks a lot worse in real life.  In the picture it looks like a hill.
 The rest of the pictures are taken on the Zen Trail
