This preserved region in Utah amazes visitors every season with unique and amazing scenery. Located in the southwestern corner of Utah, you'll find one of the most beautiful parks in the United States with a rather unusual name, Zion National Park.Isaac Behunin, an early Mormon settler, arrived in the area in the 1860s and is believed to have given the canyon its name. Standing on the rim he stated, “A man can worship God among these great cathedrals as well as he can in any man-made church; This is Zion.” Henceforth, the canyon became known as Zion Canyon and the community of Zion was established.Although Zion no longer exists, the stunning landscape does. The beauty that Behunin alluded to consists of a mixture of towering cliffs with ruby-red walls, incredible slot canyons, and unique sandstone formations.
Run the beautiful road to Zion. This course is a challenging but incredibly beautiful steady climb towards the mouth of main Zion Canyon. Chase the sunrise over The Watchman and come run below the vibrant cliffs. Don't miss this chance to run in the desert and end in the lovely town of Springdale.

Just a few weeks ago, triple-digit temperatures and drought conditions were baking North Texas and drying up the Trinity River in Dallas. But overnight, rain pounded the region and filled up the river basin. The rain was so powerful that an apartment in downtown Dallas quickly ended up with two feet of water inside. It also caused power outages at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport on Monday afternoon, leading to more than 250 flight cancellations. In Utah's Zion National Park, torrential rains turned hiking paths treacherous, putting park goers at risk. One person was filmed clinging to a large tree trunk in fast-moving flood waters. The search continues for a 29-year-old woman from Tucson, Arizona, who was hiking with her friends when the storm hit. "There are more than 20 people working on a search and rescue operation, and they're working all along the length of Zion Canyon," said Zion National Park spokesman Jonathan Shafer.

We kicked off our tour of the Grand Circle with a visit to Zion National Park. We stayed at the Hampton in Springdale and visited both Zion Canyon and the Kolob Canyons portions of the park. We used a private shuttle on this visit due to COVID capacity issues and had to make some on the fly adjustments to plans due to some Search and Rescue activity in the canyon while we were there.

What is your philosophy of health? Cory Holly has built his life based on his philosophy of health, including the Cory Holly Institute. Today CHI is in 30 countries and has educated 8,000 students. On today's Awesome Health, Cory and I talk about how his personal philosophy and unwavering commitment to health have helped make CHI what it is today. Since his teenage years Cory has been committed to his own health and the well-being of others, and you'll hear how it all began. We dig deep into his own story and the lessons he has learned throughout his life. This is one episode you'll want to listen to again and again because there's so much knowledge packed into it! Get ready to learn from the master himself, Cory Holly, on today's Awesome Health podcast. More About Awesome Health with Cory Holly Cory has a bio about a mile long so rather than list all of his accomplishments and awards, I asked him to tell us who he is and in response he shared a story. Recently he took a trip with his son, Michael, and they visited Vegas for a night before renting a car and driving to the Grand Canyon Monument Valley and Zion Canyon. Along the way Michael asked Cory who are you and what makes you tick? What are you all about? Cory asked his son to answer those questions and Michael said he thinks ultimately, outside of all the fanfare, you're just a basic gym rat and that's what you are! And his son nailed it - Cory says he is a gym rat to a tee. Add on the fact that Cory is a true hippie: make love, not war. He detests violence in any form. As Cory and Michael talked more they got onto the subject of passivity and how to deal with scenarios that you know will lead to conflict. They ventured into philosophical territory, a topic Cory loves. He believes a man has to have a philosophy and define not who he is but discover where he is. When you can come to terms with the answers to those questions you start to get in touch with what he calls reality. And as he has discovered, in order to achieve anything he has to be well. That is the overriding principle of anything and that is his destiny, his birth right and what nature has designed within me. He knows the way to fully enjoy his life and his potential is by being well and making progress in every part of life from mental to emotional and physical. That approach has served him well, at the age of 59 he has remarkable muscle mass and is incredibly fit. In fact, he is in Master's Track and Field competing in the sport of the hammer. His goal is to set a new record in his age group and that motivates him to show up and do the skills training. Health and Wellness Lessons From a Master So how has he gotten to this place? What lessons has he learned along the way that he can pass on? The biggest lesson he has learned to date is how to reject everything he was told as a kid. The conventional education system didn't prepare him for reality and didn't teach him the things he needed to know. The greatest thing lacking is when he graduated from high school he wasn't equipped with the knowledge to look after himself: he didn't know how to keep himself healthy. When you see a high school graduate you do not see health consciousness! They don't know how to eat properly, they don't know nutritional science or biochemistry or proper exercise technique and form. Without that knowledge, a person cannot be healthy today. Movement has to be incorporated into our day to day lives because it's not part of how we live. We take cars everywhere or trains or planes, we don't walk. He also had to reject the employee mindset he had been taught. He didn't see himself as the entrepreneur he truly is and he had to discover that by being greatly disappointed and betrayed by the system, and being mistreated and abused by many employers. For example, he once worked pounding rocks on a beach in Greece. In that experience he knew what he didn't want to do and he committed to finding out what it was he was designed to do. In the mean time, he would continue the rock work because he needed to eat. However, he would take with him the lifelong lesson of doing what you love in this lifetime because there is nothing after. There is nothing left after you are gone.Everything you think matters will move away out of the horizon when someone you love is sick or dying and in that moment you ultimately see what matters most. Sharing His Principles and The Basic Tenets of Health At what point did he commit to not only learning these principles but sharing them around the world? Cory tells us his father wasn't in his life when he was growing up. His surrogate father was his grandfather, and he died at 69. Later on Cory would learn why his grandfather died young: he was a smoker who was unhappily married and he was a workaholic. He never exercised and he enjoyed "hitting the bottle". But for Cory losing his only paternal influence at a young age was damaging, as it is for any young man. He was already dealing with the fact that his father had walked out of his life so losing his grandfather was an extra difficult blow. That is where sport stepped in: sport became the compensation for the vacuum left by his grandfather and his father. People called him a "natural" athlete, but Cory thinks he was more motivated to do well than having natural talent for sport. For him, he was motivated to do well and was driven to achieve. It's something he sees in a lot of athletes: they are driven by anger and are fueled by it. But the experiences of his personal life culminated to help him make sense of it all. He goes on to share the story of Ayn Rand's Howard Roark in The Fountainhead and how he related to the character and his uncompromising commitment to his individuality and his vision. He had been led to believe by many people in his life that he would never succeed and he would never achieve anything of note. He was a renegade and a disruptor who couldn't fit in anywhere, and that was part of his struggle. So when he found Ayn Randy's Howard Roark, a man who wouldn't settle for money nor fame nor power nor glory, he found he could relate to and identify with this character. He admires that characteristic in a man or a woman: someone who won't sell out because they understand how futile it would be to sell their soul for a dollar. Cory gives a few other examples of similar characters from the media - Spock and Superman. Ultimately, he would be inspired by these characters' lessons to not compromise the work he has done (especially with his institute). We go on to discuss how we can transform our genetic predispositions, why walking is fundamental to our well-being and the basic tenents of living a healthy lifestyle. Those basic tenents are as follows: Clean air. Water. His formula is 30 ml per kilogram of lean mass. Food. Real, whole food that is from plants and animals. He gives an example of what he eats every day: two big salads with protein, alternating juices including ascorbic acid (he explains why Vitamin C is so needed by athletes). He also includes feta cheese into his salads, and eats another 4-5 meals a day for a total of 6-7 meals each day. Cory breaks down those meals as well as the supplements he takes every day, why we should eat entrails regularly and what they do at Cory Holly Institute.

I am sitting in Zion Canyon as I travel around sharing my life experiences, kicking hope and talking to some amazing experiences. Today I am sharing my audio memoir from my first year of sobriety.
Dans ce troisième épisode, nous nous focalisons sur un thème unique : les parcs nationaux américains. Pour l'occasion, l'équipe a le bonheur d'accueillir un expatrié canadien en la personne de David alias Introl. David est un grand passionné de road trips et il a déjà parcouru l'ouest américain de long en large. De Yosemite à Yellowstone en passant par le Grand Canyon, il a beaucoup de choses intéressantes à raconter. Ce classement des parcs nationaux est également prétexte à de nombreuses digressions. L'épisode traite donc pêle-mêle de randonnées, de vie sauvage, de géologie, de la conduite à adopter face à un ours, de la différence entre le crocodile et l'alligator, de Galaxy Quest et Rocky IV, ou encore de volcanisme et de fin du monde. Merci d'avance pour votre soutien. Un nouvel abonné, c'est un sourire dessiné sur le visage de Safet. Une évaluation sur iTunes, c'est une bouteille de champagne ouverte chez Caddy. Un follower de plus sur Twitter ou Facebook, c'est une bouteille de sirop d'érable offerte à Introl. Générique : DJ Quads - A Bouquet of Roses Jingles et extraits : Ain't no rest for the wicked (Cage The Elephant), Bonne nuit les petits, Le dîner de cons, Youpi Matin (Les Inconnus), Walker Texas Ranger
America's national parks are experiencing record crowds — and some nature enthusiasts worry about what that means for the protected land.
