Another early start and we drove from Vegas to Zion, stopping at the Valley of Fire on the way. We are glad we have experienced Vegas but we will not be rushing back there. There were far too many people, it was too hot, expensive and just claustrophobic.
The Valley of Fire is so called because of the red sandstone formations and it is quite different from what we have seen so far.
Zion is a truly spectacular park. Photographs do not depict the sheer scale of the place. It is another one of those parks where you think you have taken the killer picture only to find another opportunity around the corner. The park is very well managed and it receives 1.2 million visitors a year. However, it does not feel crowded and they have free shuttle buses stopping along the scenic route to get off to sight see.
The town of Springdale is very pretty and would be an idyllic place to live - don't know that I could find a job though.
