Spent yesterday at Zion National Park went to both sections there 40 miles apart. One had a River running through it the other just a stream. High canyon walls with beautiful erosion features colors shapes. This park is lower in altitude so there are lots of flowers, wildlife and vistas.

I spent the day at Bryce Canyon National Park.

 There were a lot of colorful formations, interesting trails large groups of deer within 20 or 30 feet of the walkways, of course birds, squirrels and chipmunks. Will have to come back there is ...a 10 mile hiking trail looking up at the formations could be a more interesting view.On my travels the temperature was 52° at 9945 feet and 68° at 7952 feet, snow in the higher areas, no leaves or flowers yet.

I am Now located at Hurricane Utah at a KOA RV Park. The park is on Quail Lake adjacent to the state park approximately 20 miles from Zion National Park. The weather has been quite warm in the low 90s with a 12 mile an hour breeze. Plan to visit the national parks in the area there are several Bureau of land management campgrounds and parks. Arrived here yesterday today was a shopping day and I checked out a few areas close by and my route when leaving on 9 May.
