| Kolob/Zion |
Today we left Barstow for Cedar City, UT. Thinking that we would have tough climb
across the tip of Arizona in the Virgin River Canyon, again I dreaded it. Since we had come through there on our way
out there was already a memory of it.
Well, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I was afraid of. There was a RV 5th wheeler that
hustled and cut me off from going into the canyon first, thank goodness for
this. He ended up leading the line of
traffic up the single lane of road construction. He took the pressure off the rest of us from
having to keep the speed up. That was
what I thought was the last long steep grade we would have before Cedar
City. Man-o-man was I wrong. The roads were straight but the hills were
long and steep, one right after the other.
Jan and I fell in love with the scenery as we travelled. The towns of
St. George and Cedar City were beautiful clean towns. In fact, when we reached our campground (KOA)
, we found it to be the very nicest campground we have ever stayed in. They were a nice reprieve from all of our
California campgrounds that had dirt (dust) at their sites. This KOA had concrete patios and gravel sites
and grass borders and was extremely clean.

| Kolob/Zion |
Cedar City sits in a magnificent valley close to Zion and Bryce National
Parks.
When we arrived, we found that
Kolob/Zion, an extension of Zion, was just a short distance from our
campground.
We hustled out, and drove
over to go through the park.

Being that
it was on the back side of Zion, we saw lots of similarity to Zion with
beautiful red rock walls.
