On friday afternoon, we took a bus towards Zion but asked the driver to drop us at the Golden Rock plantation...we read that one could hike from there. And we did...in addition to visit the hotel site (there are only 20 some guests..), we hike the nature trail in yet another tropical forest setting. It was a magical place, with huge trees, old stone buildings covered with vines, and dry river beds with moss covered boulders ...We met the owner of the estate and she gave us an interesting hidtory of the plantation that used to belong to her ancestors.
