Hurricane Inn Travelodge

... we stocked our new kitchen up. So now the sweating really starts - trying to get the RV out of the car park, on the right road going the right way, easier said than done... after performing many right turns it was looking pretty grim, however, managing to get the van to do a U turn at a set of traffic lights filled me with confidence that was snatched from me as quickly as it came. Driving a vehicle of this size certainly has it's challenges, this ...

... a hotel in Hurricane to help Darren's back (rather than camping). We hiked the Narrows the first day. The second day, we hiked Angel’s Landing with the recommendation of Tina Stefek. Both were beautiful hikes; the Narrows involved hiking through the river and Angel’s Landing had a lot of exposure the last half mile. So much exposure that they added chains to aid the hikers.

... show at the Bellagio - ahhhh, the culture. Wouldn't be too concerned if never returned to Vegas. Could be fun with loads of money and friends, but then again, could think of better places to be with friends and cash.... Death Valley Left Vegas in the morning, long day of driving - bout 10 hours through Death Valley, stopping the night at Mammoth Lakes. Death Valley was amazing - temps hit 113F (45 celcius) at the lowest points (below sea level). A ...

... to an extent, and as the eensy weensy hikers headed back UP (you DO have to go back up) the mud was pretty much dried up (you could on the road actually SEE the water evaporating, the air is so dry.) We took about a million more pictures. We couldn't help it. They had a faucet, hose and wire brush to clean your shoes with. Good idea! On down the road to Zion. The road in from the east goes through two tunnels (is there another word than amazing ...

... only short, 2.5 miles to the summit. Its the 1500 ft climb that is impressive from down here in the valley. The sandy start to the trail belies the evils which lurk ahead. The sand is soft, comforting. Then after about a half mile, its back on tarmac. Some long switchbacks follow. Steep. Legs burning. Lungs burning. Remembering the training I have put in - sitting on my butt in a car for three weeks, ordering "medium" combos ...

... as you go pass the visitor centre on your left you will come across an imposing formation named the Towers of the Virgin, so named as the centrepiece of the formation resembles the Virgin Mary so often depicted standing with her hands clasped in prayer. A little further down three massive mountains form the Court of the Patriarchs - well actually they look more like the 3 wise men sitting down with their legs crossed. Whilst not exactly the most ...

... sono le 5... che faccio? Per arrivare a Zion, dopo aver visto con il gps mi ci vuole 1 ora per arrivare (non sò perchè ero convinto che Hurricane era a 30 min da Zion..) quindi tempo che arrivo sono almeno le 6 e non faccio in tempo a fare nessun trail e poi torno qui che sono alemeno le 9... decido di lasciare Zion NP all'indomani e dirigermi verso Saint George che dista solo 30 min. Arrivato a Saint George mi faccio un giro poi mi viene in mente che ancora non sono stato in ...

... bjerge på begge sider af vejen. Left aligned photo tag: Vi fandt hurtigt udaf, at dette var vandrere- og hikeres paradis, på busturen var der stoppesteder til forskellige hikes, de mindste på en 1 times tid og et par stykker på 5 timer, hver vej!!. Thomas var selvfølgelig frisk på den hike der tog 10 timer og som tog en op på et bjerg hvor ...

Well everyone was right, this is probably my favorite place so far. Zion is beautiful. We entered the park on the East side, and drove through all these really cool rock formations that reminded me of "Oh The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss. Then you enter a tiny little tunnel that was completed in the 1930s and is a mile in length through a huge mountain to come out on the other side to this amazing canyon. There are HUGE rock mountains that are ...
