It was really windy our last night in the Wasatch State Park near Park City. Gusts to maybe 50 mph! We woke up in freezing rain. Packed up and hit the road by 9 a.m.
Scenic drive along a large lake and a narrow canyon to I-15 South. Steady traffic on the highway. It was the thickest traffic we have seen on the trip – perhaps because it’s Friday? People didn’t exit at Zion, so maybe they were headed to Vegas.
Stopped in Kolob Canyon for a two-mile hike to a lookout. This was the spot where the Colorado plate was thrust up and began to erode, creating the amazing cliffs and canyons that Zion has today.
Dropped the dogs off in Toquerville, 30 miles from the south entrance to Zion National Park, where we are boarding them for two nights, so we are free to hike anywhere in the Park. Dogs are only allowed on one, 3-mile river walk.
