Comfort Inn Zion Park Hurricane

... plenty of free things and discounts, everything from free bottles of champagne to deck chairs! We're considering using this line on every holiday!

Back to the Magic - we saw some very cool tricks in the Magic Castle, both of us were so baffled as to how a person right in front of you can make a bowling ball appear and fall from a sketchpad and how coins can disappear while being watched - well worth the visit.

Filming of the Jay Leno ...

... was the better hike. He suggested Observation Point as it was a less crowded trail and you have a great view. We jumped on the Zion bus which is free with the entry fee and disembarked at Weeping Rock (that path was closed because of a rock fall). The trail was 4 miles that transcended 2130 feet! The sun was beating down for the second half of the ascent and it was hard! We reached the top and had lunch. The view was amazing and the canyon was phenomenal. On the way ...

... Next day we did the free shuttle bus trip through the Zion valley itself - beautiful sandstone cliffs up to 2500ft high, the biggest in the world. Kind of bummed we couldn't have another day here to do the Angel's Landing hike, which apparently has a section that is 3 feet wide, with drops of 1200 and 800 feet on either side. Yikes! The erosion of the sandstone was quite clearly a very active process (making canyoneering a precarious activity at ...

May 23rd (my father's birthday, would be 98) Hurricane (pronounced Hurr-i-kin) UTAH (near Zion National Park) You just keep taking pictures of amazing pictures and rock formations and then remarking that they don't do reality justice and then you take 30 more and say the same thing...... WHAT an amazing place southern Utah is...... So it rained the last two days - rained for our day in Capital Reef, so we walked a bit but didn't hike, enjoyed the ...

Am nächsten Tag ging unsere Reise weiter zum nächsten Nationalpark dem Zion. Der Zion ist ebenfalls ein Steincanyon, allerdings sind die Steine an einigen Orten praktisch weiss. Auch im Zion Nationalpark liessen wir es uns nicht nehmen eine kleine Wanderung zu machen um den Park besser anschauen zu können. Unsere Wanderung führte uns zu ...

Lascio alle mie spalle la Dixie national forest e come sempre fin'ora lo spettacolo è assicurato! Prati con le mucche, montagne.. panorami spettacolari! e devo dire che la musica riesce a far sembrare tutto ancora più spettacolare. Ad un certo punto vedo una struttura abbandonata tipo vecchio dinner-store, decido ovviamente di fermarmi per fare un pò di foto, c'era anche un pick up parcheggiato ma non c'era l'ombra di nessuno.. chissà dove starà! vedo dall'altra parte della ...

... two feet wide in places and those are not a flat two feet. There may be chains to help you to pull yourself up along a narrow out crop of rock with shear cliffs on both sides. Let me repeat BOTH sides. It was 1/2 mile up and then you had to crawl your way down the same way. It was the scariest thing we have done so far. What is somewhat amazing is that there were lots of fellow crazy people up there wanting to do ...

... hele dagen, men det gjorde ikke en stopper for at besøge Bryce Canyon National Park (stadig i Utah), som er en bjergkæde bestående af røde tinder og som er kendt blandt mormonerne for at være "et helvedes sted at miste en ko". Billedskønne klippeformationer, den ene efter den anden, kom til syne ved det ene udsigtspunkt efter det andet. Vejen ind i ...

... Utah, Arizona and on a good day, New Mexico. The rock has been weathered into weird pointy columns called hoodoos. It was very windy again, so not clear enough to see New Mexico, or the north rim of the Grand Canyon, but still spectacularly stunning. There was a tiny patch of snow on the road, so Andy drove through it several times, to the bemusement of a woman standing next to a ...
