First Stop - Zion

Do you call it Zi-uhn or Zi-on with a long i?  I was calling it the former, but all the guides on the buses called it the latter.  Now I know.

Zion National Park is stunning, and definitely worth a visit.  The first day of our road trip, we drove into the park on the scenic Zion Park Boulevard.  The views were awesome - Checkerboard Mesa, Zion Arch, deep canyons, and of course, the mile long tunnel was a big hit.  As I was driving, I have no pictures.

We got lucky and found an empty camp site right in the park at South Campground.

The kids loved it!

You'll see why in my next post.
Sorry, no time for more today, business calls.  :)
