We had contemplated eating our ‘sack’ lunch during this short hike, but there weren’t really any good places to sit down and eat that weren’t already occupied. So we headed back across the road to the ‘Castle Dome Café (aka the Beer Garden) adjoining the Zion Lodge. We bought a couple of local brews and enjoyed them with our sack lunch in the shade of the patio.

Then back on the shuttle to the Weeping Rock Trail, where we enjoyed standing under the rock overhang to see ‘the back side of water’ (as they say on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland). The sun shining through the water droplets almost made them shimmer like diamonds. And if you moved your head just right, you could see the always enthralling (well, in my book) colorful prismatic rainbow effect!
