When we got up this morning it was already 31C. This was at 8 am. We had several hours of driving ahead of us today as we wanted to place ourselves close to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for tomorrow. Some of those drives were quite pretty. Interstate 15 through the Northwest corner of Arizona is carved out of the rocks along the Virgin River. It actually looks like you are driving into the mountain.
We used Highway 9 to drive through Zion and reach Kanab, UT. They have built almost all the way to the gates of Zion. You now have to take a shuttle to see the park unless you are driving through. What wonderful scenery, though. Highway 9 is designated a Scenic Byway and rightly so. And we had both forgotten how beautiful Zion National Park is. It HAS been 20 years since we have been here, after all.
The pictures cannot do this park justice.
Tonight promises to be cool, we are at 5000 feet elevation. Tomorrow we will visit one of the seven wonders of the world. We are in an RV park tonight in Kanab, UT. That means we can't pitch our tent and will sleep in the van. The reviews on this park said it had clean washrooms and fast wifi and the reviews were right. It is also close to town so we may walk in after supper.
