Vegas Part Three (Other Stuff)

Zion National Park

I do not like Vegas. I don't gamble, drink or swear. I spend as little time as possible on the strip. We take a walk at nite to see the lights, and a walk during the day for some shopping. Other than that we might hit a nice restaurant once on the strip. All other activities are out of town.

As last year we took a ride thru Red Rock Canyon. Thats good for a couple of hours. I had a ton of pics of this place last year so I did not take any to speak of. Besides, I knew where we were going the very next day.

This year we decided to take the 2.5 hour drive over to Zion National Park in lower Utah. And glad we did. The park is also set in a Canyon and you take a bus (no cars allowed) 6 miles down stream. Several stops include a Lodge and many trail heads. Rock climbing and hiking are the two main activities. The amount of rock climbing here is second only to Yosemite. The hiking here is also big time.

 We saw a lot of hard core hikers coming out of the canyon hills. Huge packs on their backs and looking pretty ratty. Some had some pretty good scraps all over their legs. You could tell they have been out for awhile.

Huge vistas had tons of photographers camping out in spots all over the Park. Waiting for the sun to be just right and get that perfect pic. A lot of famous pictures have been taken here. I took about a zillion.

So another Vegas vacation in the books. 

It was fun. And I needed some rest when I got home.

Still catching up on work and domestic stuff.
Now its back to my bike riding and HP.

And thats all I have to say about that.
