From Grand Canyon, we continued to Kanab where we spent the night in a 70s style, western motel, complete with wood paneling and Indian chief portraits above the bed.  John really dug its seedy retro flava.  It was late, we were tired, and the room was clean and cheap.  From Kanab, we were able to explore Zion National Park the following day.  Unfortunately, the narrows (slot canyons located in the northern portion of the park) were closed due to high water levels, so we hiked some other trails and and tramped through the park at our own pace, then stopped for dinner and smoothies at The Springdale Fruit Company before driving on.  We ended up in Richfield, UT, where we got in late again and simply found a place to get some rest.  The next day we drove all the way to Moab, and drove Hwy 191, which is lined with scenic BLM campgrounds.  We settled at Fisher Towers for the night and discussed preparations for our upcoming Green River trip.
