We chose the hike up to Angel's Landing as our first hike of the day. It was a steep and winding 2 miles up the side of a cliff, then through a cool narrow ravine before going higher up to a plateau. There was an additional half mile of treacherous rock climbing with chain railings for support, that took you to the tippy top of the mountain ridge. Nothing for the faint of heart or for anyone with fear of heights. Amy and Drew made it a quarter of the way before turning back. Bob and Ben went the entire route, [View Full Entry]

We were following our route and were pleasantly surprised to find we had to drive through the entire park in order to get to our camp ground. The drive was windy, narrow, and sometimes nerve-racking but the views were amazing. We drove through a long tunnel that went into the mountainside, and finally arrived at the campground with incredible views from every angle. [View Full Entry]

Hi everybody, we are continuing our quest of the national parks and are currently in Zion. The place is fantastic, loads to see and do. Been on several treks in the park, including the Angels Landing. Wendy made it to the top, I am not so keen on heights so woosed out. We have been staying in out of the way places and find it hard to get to use the internet. Forgot the camera, so no pictures with this one, but will down load some fantastic stuff soonest. Lol, Kev and Wendy. [View Full Entry]

Can you believe we've been on the road for 30 days ?? Today is our one month anniversary, it's officially been 30 days since we left Stockbridge and we're still going strong !! Once again this day would bring us more of this great land to discover. As I was making sausage, egg and cheese croissants for breakfast, Tim was washing the front of the motor home and we were preparing for our departure. We were headed towards Zion National Park in Springdale, Utah. While Tim was across the street last night paying the $16.95 in hook-up fees, he picked up [View Full Entry]

As we made our way to Zion (that’s the US National Park, not Jerusalem) we passed through several very scenic and geologically fascinating areas: Capitol Reef National Park - This park highlights a Waterpocket Fold created 65 million years ago, when the earth’s surface buckled up and folded, exposing a cross-section of geologic history. Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument - A high, rugged and vast (almost 1.9 million acres) landscape that was the last place in the continental US to be mapped, and remains practically unspoiled. Kodachrome Basin State Park - The spectacle [View Full Entry]

Both of us agree that Zion is by far the most beautiful place we have seen so far... although the list is still short. We enjoyed our stay here, even with the heat. We completed the Angel's Landing hike in about 4 hours and then continued on to do the water hike in the Narrows after resting for about an hour. What a challenging and rewarding day. Angel's landing is one of the peaks in Zion canyon that has an elevation gain of around 1500 feet. For about .5 miles of the climb, you have to hold onto a chain because [View Full Entry]

Having spent the night in a place called "Hurricane"we were ready for Zion National Park. We'd driven through it the night before, but had decided to rest up first before our visit. Our first stop however was a place called "Virgin". (There was a neat little fort there that we just had to visit.) Having taken photos, it was on to Zion. Once there..... We had to park up at the visitors centre and take a bus into the canyon. (Cars are not allowed to drive in the main canyon) This made things a bit difficult, what with havi [View Full Entry]

Our first ever time to this area and what a fantastic place to be. We are camping in an RV site in the beautiful town of Springdale. Springdale is a great place lots of foodie places and bars with a shuttle bus that takes you to the park and up and down the town for free! Excellent. The campsite is on the edge of Zion national park so we are surrounded by mountains - a super way to wake up in the morning. The park itself is great for hiking - we attempted 2 walks/hikes - the Narrows, a river hike [View Full Entry]
