FRI. AUGUST 23 - CEDAR CITY UTAH

We are at the cedar city koa which is very nice, grass, long level gravel sites, and lots to do in town.  The koa is right in town, but not noisy at all.  It is right off I15 so lots of rv folks use it as a stopover.  We have been here since tues. and have seen Zion National Park, Red Rock Canyon, and Bryce National Park.  All of them are at least an hour away so it makes for a nice day trip.  Luckily we went to them early in the day because in the afternoon we have rain showers.  Daylight and sun makes for nice photos.  Of course there is a new walmart in town so we stock up on groceries and such and eat at a really nice steakhouse.  Everyplace else we ate is near to the parks and nothing to write home about.  I know all these photos show the mountains, but wherever we go the mountains are a little bit different.  Our first trip was to Zion, it reminded us of Disneyworld with trams and loads of people.  We decided to take our car and just drive through the park and had a wonderful time, stopping off at scenic overlooks and taking our pics.  Look at these gorgeous mountains.

 
 
 
This photo is at the beginning of the red rock canyon, a lovely scenic drive before you get to Bryce.
 
These photos are of Bryce Canyon, I could take hundreds of pics here, everything is so beautiful
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
O. K. this is our first hike, the weather started out cool, it is a mile hike, but as we traveled on the sun got very hot and the trail got steep, we are at 9,000 feet and difficult to breathe, but we made it back to the parking lot, whew.

  1. Great photos of Zion and Bryce Parks. The scenery there is outstanding. Hiking at 9,000 ft can be tough! Glad all is still going well, we're thinking of you.
