Day 1, travel and Zion
May. 27th, 2011 12:05 amI finally got through showing all the important pics to Cyn. She's been looking all week. So now I'm starting to fix them up. Maybe in another week or two, I'll have all of them posted.
I got up a little bit early to make my flight to Las Vegas. It wasn't an extremely long flight. We made it to Vegas. I got my suitcase, and rode the bus out to the rental center, where I got my Jeep. I drove up to St. George Utah, where I found a grocery store to stock up. I bought a bunch of protein bars, granola bars, some beef jerky, fruit and Gatorade. I got back on the freeway, forgetting that I was supposed to be looking for a turn-off to Zion National Park around this point. Odd I never noticed any large signs. So I drove north a while, before seeing a smallish sign to "KOLOB CANYON (ZION NATIONAL PARK)" or something like that. It didn't seem like what I was looking for, but I went in. Checking the map at the (closed) visitor center, I realized this was at the far northwest end of the park. Well, I was there, so I decided to look around.

My trusty Jeep Grand Cherokee. I drove up the canyon.
