But first - a quick stop to top up the car with oil. This car has been fabulous for us, and we might be taking it for granted!
We then set off Sunday for St. George, Utah, driving four to Las Vegas and then about two hours further on the I-15.
We checked into our hotel and got recommendations for dinner. We walked around the downtown area a bit, where Stace found an English telephone booth. Then we had dinner at an Olive Garden.
On Monday, we checked out and drove to Zion National Park, where we met up with Colleen, Rigo and the kids, who were joining us on the adventure.
We took a shuttle from the town of Springdale to the Zion Visitors Center, and then boarded a National Park shuttle. The shuttle system is very well organized, and we enjoyed it. We hiked the Riverside Trail, which parallels the Virgin River and takes you back to where you can access the famous Narrows.
When we reached the end of the trail, these three bravely hiked through the river to get closer to the Narrows.
This involved hiking IN the 42-degree snowmelt river, in their hiking shoes and clothes. You can rent proper equipment, but we hadn't planned to do that.
They enjoyed their further walk, but all said they were chilled through and through.
While we waited for the intrepid explorers, Violet drew and Cora and I worked on her lines for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
Beautiful Zion!
