Zion National Park

After a long drive, through Las Vegas... (Where the group supposedly encountered a "traffic jam"...) they arrived in St. George, and slept for 9 hours!! The next day was their visit to Zion National Park.

However, on the way to Zion.. they made a stop at Grafton, which is a ghost town south of Zion.. Hope they didn't pick up any extra passengers, or as we call them in our family, "Friend's of Brookie".. Anyhow, this ghost town is said to be the most photographed ghost town of the west. For all you film buffs, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was filmed there. In the 1800's it was a farming town and the home to many LDS families. The last families left in the 1940's due to the many floods that occurred. Onwards to Zion...

Zion was breathtaking, steep cliffs and narrow canyons. The Virgin River runs through it - many hiking areas, and for those who do not want to hike - there is a free shuttle throught the park (90 minute ride of narration).
