Zion National Park

We left Lake Havasu early on Friday morning and got to Zion around 4 PM. We drove through the Virgin River Gorge on I-15 before entering Utah from Arizona.  What a fabulous drive for me, the passenger.  John got glimpses of the canyon walls and river as he navigated the RV down one lane on the highway with construction barriers on one side and a bridge rails on the other. Then it was a beautiful drive up to the park with towering canyon walls on both sides of the highway leading up to the entrance. 

Thinking it would be off-season until Easter,  we didn’t think we would have any problems finding a place to camp.  Boy were we wrong! According to the park ranger the park season starts the first of March and the campgrounds are filled to capacity every night.  We were fortunate that they were able to put us in a handicapped, electric site for one night and advised us to be at the other non-reservable campground between 8 and 9 the next morning.
