Kolob Plateau

We didn’t do much today.  John paid taxes, I did the laundry and then we took a drive to explore another part of Zion Park.

Just 15 miles west of the Zion Canyon we drove towards the Kolob Reservoir on top of the Lower Kolob Plateau.  Most of the land was pastoral, cows grazing along the road, fields of green near the river and more homes, cabins and lodges than we expected to see.  But one area was startling because we were driving on a narrow lane with steep canyons dropping off on both sides.  The reservoir was drying up but a couple of fishermen were still trying to catch some trout.  We also stopped at a view point where we could see the Zion canyon and possibly the edge of the Grand Canyon or maybe it was Bryce Canyon.

We had an early night as were are moving in the morning.
