Saturday, June 24, 2006 - Zion, Utah

Today we drove around the campground looking for another campsite that would be in the shade.  After finding a shady spot, we went to the registration office to ask if we could move.  They agreed so we packed up and drove a short distance to a shady spot.  We both think that this will be better.  We needed some groceries so we had to go out of the park to Springdale where we bought what we needed except for grits.  We think that we might have a hard time finding grits in the Southwest.

Since the temperatures reach over 100 degrees at Zion, we have decided to go out in the morning and late afternoon to see the park.  We are going to relax in our air-conditioned trailer in the shade during the hottest part of the day.

About 4:00, we went to the Visitor Center where we got on the shuttle bus to tour the park.  The shuttle bus is free and allows everyone to see the view.  It is also good for the environment.
