Zion Ponderosa

We went to Zion Ponderosa this past weekend. If you haven't heard of it or have never been check out the link. It was the perfect getaway for us and we had a great time! We have some friends that go up there every year and they always have glowing reviews. So we decided to check it out.

We stayed in one of the vacation homes there and it was incredible. This is the view from the back porch. Amazing!

As luck would have it our friends were staying there the same weekend and were gracious enough to be our tour guides. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the ATVs, went to the pool (super fun with slides), played games and had incredible food. They also have a recreation barn with pool tables and ping pong tables for the guests to use, horseback riding, hiking, a zip line, rock climbing wall, tennis court, frisbee golf course and of course Zion's National Park is within a 15min drive! We had a great time and loved spending time with friends and family. Tim and Hilary seriously have great kids! My parents joined us Saturday morning but I totally forgot to get a picture of them... sorry mom and dad! We enjoyed spending time with them too!

Here are a few pictures of us on the ATVs...

The kids all piled on the morning they left, they all loved riding and would ask every time they saw us if they could go on a ride. Meg kept telling Brad "go faster horsey!"

This is the view from a look out spot on one of the ATV trails. Beautiful view!

During the ride we took Saturday, I noticed rain clouds approaching. When I asked Brad if we should head back he said it shouldn't be a heavy rain. So we kept riding and when the rain hit we were SOAKED within 10 min! Very fun ride up to that point and after changing we planned to go back out but the rain started again so we didn't make it.

Brad's pants are normally a lighter color! Luckily we have a couple jackets in the ATV bag.

Random bit of information...this police truck was parked in the SAME spot when we passed in on the way to Zion Ponderosa so we looked harder on the way back and they have a dressed mannequin in the driver's seat to fool people into slowing down. Way to go Kane County!

We had an enjoyable time and will most definitely go back again!
