Sept 26th, Wed: Zion National Park

Sept 26th, Wed: After a quiet, no-camp-fire-again-campground in Glendale Utah, we took off for Zion National Park. Weren't sure we were ready for another national park but this one was so much different than Grand Canyon. So we were glad we made the trip. Two tunnels took us into the park with the second tunnel was made one way at a time so we could travel in the middle without scrapping the sides or top. It was pretty cool.

You wound up and you wound around and could see three curves on the return way way down there. Another road not for the light of heart.  Gretchen would say to Roger, "Hey, look at that.........when you can!". 

Spending the night at RV Corral in Kanab, Utah. Tomorrow back into Arizona going through the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations. Heck, we may even stay the night at one of their campgrounds even though alcohol is prohibited. Heap em not good idea to drink that fire water, we guess!









picture:  First glimps of Zion and the twisty, hair pin turns coming up.  Speed limit 15 was too much!
picture:  First tunnel was no problem.  Plenty of leg room.
picture:  Second tunnel was one way.  You can barely see the sign above the stop sign that says 13'-1" tall.  We think we are over 12' so must be certain to stay in the middle of the road.

     Why can't they make this road straight????
