Another great day! We were off to Zion National Park this
morning and, like everyone predicted, parking in the park was full by 10:00. We
managed to get a place along the highway just outside the entrance and just a
short walk to the pedestrian entrance. We love our Golden Age Pass. Just show
the pass with an ID and in you go without paying the $25 entry fee. How cool is
that?
The park is actually fairly small; at least the portion in
the canyon, and it was very busy. Personal vehicles are restricted, and visitors
are required to use the free shuttle to get around in the park. They come
often, so it is not a problem.
We hiked a few trails and checked out the museum. It was a
great time. Next time we will come prepared to hike The Narrows, the trail that
follows the river upstream through the narrow canyon. I say follow, actually,
it requires walking in the river since the cliffs come right down to the waters
edge.

We are enjoying our stay at the Zion River RV Resort. It is
a well-run park with paved sites and access roads. NO DUST! YEA! We got back to
the campground in time for the complimentary wine and cheese gathering at the
social hall. It gave us a chance to mingle with our neighbors. If you are
traveling through this area Zion River RV Resort is worth checking out. We are
very happy with them.
