Utah Rocks!

In the geological sense. March 10, 2011

Just time enough to share photos along the way...

Okay. I think the first two are from Nevada.

Look close. Is that white cone thing in the middle of the "field" some kind of radar thingy?

And we arrive in Cedar City, UT. This one's for Rebecca, our friendly U-haul rep in Costa Mesa, CA.

And We're Off! *Sniff* *Sniff*

March 10, 2011 We left her in Costa Mesa with Steve at California Coach. And, yes, I did cry.

We will miss you.

Even stripped of possessions she still looks like home.

But we are off to new adventures.

More pics to come. For now, you guess the place.

Kolob Canyon, Zion NP

August 20, 2009 Kolob Canyon is an adjunct to Zion National Park more than 30 miles from the main park. In our opinion, it's the prettier picture, even when forest fires cloud the dark pink canyon walls.

A 1 mile hike to Timber Creek Canyon and awesome panoramas:

L1020356

L1020368

A couple confident creatures entertained us with their poses along the trail.

When in Zion, Kolob Canyon is a must see.

Tunnel Vision Zion Style

August 15, 2009 Since we arrived at Zion National Park, Utah via the East Entrance, we needed a special pass to go through the Long Tunnel.

L1020322

"Vehicles sized 7'10'' in width or 11'4'' in height, or larger, are required to have an ''escort'' (traffic control) through the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel. Vehicles this size are too large to stay in their lane while traveling through the tunnel. Nearly all RV's, buses, trailers, 5th wheels, and some camper shells will require an escort."

The "escort" fee is $15, but the drive is escort-less, 1.1 miles of dark and little forgiveness. The bus is about 12'8" tall. The max height allowed is 13'1". Inches either way = damage. We straddled the centre line and crept through the mountain.

P.S. - The South Entrance offers no such excitement.
