We arrived here at Springdale, Utah, at the southern entrance to Zion Canyon NP on Monday afternoon, June 28th from Las Vegas, Nevada. The drive was good, only about 170 miles, and we arrived about 1:30 pm. Hot day, around 105 deg, so we just set up and hunkered down for the afternoon. Carl and I took the shuttle bus up to the park visitors center and then transferred to the shuttle that runs through the park. We were able to get off at most of the stops and take pictures then hop the next shuttle on. Carl received devestating news about Anna's mother and we drove them back to Las Vegas to catch a flight to Baltimore. Wednesday, Carolyn and I walked down into Springdale and window shopped at the many small shops there. Had lunch at Oscars (make it a stop if you are in Springdale), then back to the campground. We took the dogs down to the Virgin River and let them swim for awhile. The day was overcast and the temperature stayed down in the 90's so was pleasant. Today, Thursday the 1st, Carolyn and I took the shuttle into the park and hiked the Emerald Pools trail and the Grotto trail, then walked into town for lunch at the Pioneer. Another clear hot day so stayed under the air conditioner until evening then took the dogs for another swim.
