With an extra day to spend in Las Vegas, we left the city and took a day trip to Zion National Park. We had visited the park 23 years ago when we took a 5 week trip out west with the girls.
It was an easy drive up to Zion
. The roads are good and traffic was light. The scenery was beautiful all the way into the park. During the busy season, the park runs a shuttle bus through the main drive, but today was the first day you could drive your car along the scenic drive.
After visiting the park, we returned to Vegas looking forward to a steak dinner at the restaurant next door only to find that they were closed due to a gas leak. While we waited to find out if they were going to reopen, Fred used some of his free money from the players club and won $22.
I will let the pictures of Zion speak for themselves.
For tomorrow we have no plans so we'll see where we go.
