We stayed up so late last night trying to get ready to leave town that we couldn’t get up. What do you do? You embrace it. I figured we’d get to a campground early enough anyway to see some of Zion and I was right (Thanks God). You just have to get in before 4:00 and we barely made it with time change and driving but we did and that’s all that counts.
Zion at dusk
Unfortunately, Zion isn’t all that pet friendly. There’s only one trail where dogs are allowed so I hiked that with Montana while my daughter took the shuttle up to the stop for hiking Emerald Pool. She says it’s gorgeous. I hope to find out tomorrow while she dog sits Montana. Right now, all I want to do tomorrow is take the Shuttle all the way to the top and back just for kicks and giggles.
More Zion
Our facilities are expensive at Zion Canyon Campground RV Resort at $35.00/night seeing as how it’s we’re renting is the dirt and a little power. They charge the pop-up campers the same as the huge RV’s. That ain’t right. I don’t even have water hook-up here. The internet connection is lousy. To top it all off, the overhead lights in the pop-up decided not to work tonight. The good news is the Virgin River is roaring outside and will lull us to sleep.
Now this is what I call a room with a view!
The other good news is that there is an amazing view outside our pop-up. Wow. I can’t wait to drive over the mountain to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon tomorrow.

So, more installments tomorrow from the North Rim. I’m so excited. I’ve never been there before and it’s all back scenic roads getting there. Oh boy!
Happy trails!
