Per an idea from Caleb we went to Vegas via Zion National park. This turned out to be pretty awesome for a few reasons. Reason 1) The drive up and around the Grand Canyon was amazing. We went through some pretty high mountain passes where there was still a good amount of snow (probably about 7000 feet though they didn’t have a sign at the top). These were forested with some tall red pines. Quite windy and pretty. Then when we came out of the mountains the landscape changed dramatically. We found ourselves driving through bright orange/red mountains that were really stunning. The wound through a valley then out. I have way too many pictures of them.
The highlight of the day, thought, was Zion National Park. It is amazing. I think visually the most spectacular scenery of the trip. The park didn’t take too long to drive through (probably about half an hour) but it was amazing. The mountains and scenery there was like nothing else. You’ll have to check out my pictures to see what I mean. At every turn I was wowed. There was a shuttle bus that you could take that went further in, I believe, but unfortunately we had places to go. Someday it would be great to go back and do that as well as some hikes.
