Jacqueline and I did not want to spend too much time hiking on this day, so we went out our front 
door and took the five minute drive to the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. The road had opened up to personal vehicles just recently, so we wanted to take advantage of that. We mainly were out for a drive but decided to come up with a few short walks. The first of which was the steps that we always noticed between Weeping Rock and the Grotto. It was tough locating them even after we saw them driving by because they just seem to appear out of the rocks. They were fairly overgr
own and not long at all. They led to a nice viewpoint that used to serve as the location for Easter service back in the 20s and 30s. I don't know much more about it than that and we stayed around long enough just to notice all of the leftover remnants of those bygone days. The other place we checked out was the waterfall behind the lodge. I figured there would be a good swimming hole, but there was not. It was 
pretty much how I expected a waterfall to be in November in Zion, a nice little trickle. We thought about continuing up to the exit of lodge canyon, but our ambition for hiking on this day was rather meager. We left that for another time. We spent only less than an hour out of the car, but still got to some place we had never been before.
