Beautiful Drive through Zion-Sunday May 19, 2013


Well, we made it back to Zion by 8:30 am and found us a spot in the South Campground.  The narrow road that winds through the campground is one lane, but paved.  There are several pull thru spots so it will be easy in and out.  The first thing Jim saw when we pulled into our spot was a deer in the brush right in front of us.
 

Wow! We just got back after taking a drive across the park.  The scenery is awesome.  The road across the park is a narrow but well maintained two lane road.  We saw quit a few motor homes driving the road, but I am glad we took the jeep.  I’m not sure I would have done very well as the road had a ton of switchbacks and a rather long, dark tunnel to drive through. 
 
 
 
 
 We saw a long horned mountain sheep standing on the edge of the road. He did a good job of tying up traffic, with everyone stopping to take pictures.  We got a great close up of him unfortunately just as Jim snapped the picture he turned his head away.
 
Another I am glad we took the jeep is there are many little pull offs along the road that would not fit a MH.  We stopped at one pull off and hiked down into a narrow gorge.  It was great, about eight or so feet wide, with a rock strewn bottom and sandstone walls towering a couple hundred feet straight up over our heads.
