Yesterday we took a drive to Zion National Park before the crowds of late spring, summer, and early autumn get too ridiculous. Zion has some of the most overwhelming scenery on the planet, and yesterday was no disappointment.
After Zion we drove the loop that goes east to Mt. Carmel junction, north through Glendale, and back west on Utah 14 to Cedar City. Highway 14 climbs up to 9900 feet where it is still very wintry and frozen. Then home by heading south on I-15.
Utah has some spectacular scenery, no question. It was a very pleasant day trip punctuated by a picnic lunch in Zion and a restaurant supper in St. George. See trip photos at the other DrC’s blog.
