Three days now at Zion National Park. Look at these magnificent sandstone cliffs surrounding our campsite. The first picture is the scene from our front door.
As soon as we arrived, we said, “Let’s stay longer.” Luckily no one had reserved our great campsite till the following weekend, so we turned 8 nights into 13. With Jenna’s geezer pass, we pay just $9/night and no entrance fee.
The campground offers electricity at the site, and a water/septic station for the campground. We expect to dump our holding tanks one time before we depart. Oh, I didn’t mention that the closest showers are in town (1 mile away). The Park Service apparently decided to minimize development here, thus the lack of facilities.
Did I mention “magnificent?”
To minimize traffic, they offer a shuttle service into town. And another shuttle service, which also runs every few minutes, throughout the park. We took a partial tour on the shuttle today, more tomorrow. (Actually, when we re-embarked, the shuttle driver his plan to return to the campground rather than continuing on. Then he closed the bus door and proceeded. OK then.)
During our 13 days here, we plan to explore beyond this park. In particular, we intend to see Bryce National Park, home of hoodoos - unique geology of red rock spires and horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters.
Nice nice.
