North Rim AZ to Kanab UT

01 Truck & 5er NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768)

We pulled out of Grand Canyon Thursday at 10:45am, me pulling the 5th-wheel and Mike following in his jeep.

02 Truck & 5er Jacob Lake AZ (1024x551)

The new truck tows like a dream.

03 Mike's new cuff & tuffa mold from Jacob Lake Inn AZ (1024x768)

Stopped at Jacob Lake for lunch and Mike decided to look at their Native American jewelry.  He bought this casted cuff bracelet made by Navajo Aaron Anderson and it came with the tufa carved mold.

04 Crazy Horse Campark Kanab UT (1024x768)

We are parked at the Crazy Horse Campark in Kanab.

05 View from RV window Crazy Horse Campark Kanab UT (1024x522)

With a marvelous view.

06 Cemetary & 5er Kanab UT (1024x767)

Right next to the cemetery, a quiet place.  We could see the 5th-wheel (center) from dinner at Escobars.  Wonderful Mexican food.

07 Slot canyon from Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch UT (768x1024) (764x1020)

Will be here a few days and having some work done on my truck early next week.  So Saturday we’re going hiking in Buckskin Gulch slot canyon.

Zion National Park

Sign Zion National Park Utah
Shortly after returning from the Colorado River trip, I took a drive to Hurricane to shop and returned home by way of Zion National Park.
Virgin River Zion National Park Utah
The shuttle ride up Zion Canyon makes many stops at trail heads and ends at the River Walk trail.  No cars are allowed during summer unless you have reservations at the Lodge.

In August the Columbine still bloomed.
Little fishes in Virgin River Zion National Park Utah
And little fishes abounded in the Virgin River.
Virgin River Zion National Park Utah
Didn’t wade upriver in the Narrows like I’d done before.
Monuments of sandstone Zion National Park Utah
Monuments of sandstone tower over the drive east out of Zion.
Walls of sandstone Zion National Park Utah
And the road follows the contour of the canyon walls.
First tunnel Zion National Park Utah
Except where tunnels were built through in 1930.  Over-sized vehicles must make arrangements in advance to drive through the tunnels.
Windows in tunnel wall Zion National Park Utah
Windows were added for light and to disperse car fumes.  I sure couldn’t get a photo out any of the windows as there is no stopping in the tunnels.
Second tunnel Zion National Park Utah
The second tunnel is much shorter.
Checkerboard Mesa Zion National Park Utah
Yet the sculpted sandstone continues.
