Zion national park
Friday we left for southwestern Utah staying at a koa in St. George, Utah. As it turned out they were hosting an annual seniors men’s sporting event called Huntsman senior games so it was hard to find a campground but we lucked out.
Saturday it was off to the parks again starting with Zion national park. You can only drive through certain areas of Zion so they offer a bus that takes you through the main park. We got a late start with sleepy head sleeping in so we didn’t do the bus and instead drove through the areas accessible to private vehicles. It was nice but I liked the Moab parks better.
On the way home we checked out a little ghost town called Grafton that was started by Mormons back in the 1800’s and later abandoned. There was a dirt road to get there and on the way in we came across a line of people walking and pushing carts. I asked what was going on and apparently it was some kind of reenactment of what their ancestors went through to get to the town. They walked 19 miles over 3 days to get there! When that did there was lots of celebrating lol.
