Virgin River Gorge


Virgin River Gorge

Sorry folks, my blog is not in chronological order. We moved from Flagstaff and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on to Zion National Park in Utah. This photo was taken as we moved through the Virgin River Gorge. This had a much bigger impact on me than standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon. I get a much better perspective from the bottom. WOW.
We stayed in a campground just outside the park in a nice little town called Springdale. It was a very short drive to the entrance of the park where you began your ascent out of the canyon. There are two tunnels, one of which is so narrow that RV's have to pay an extra $15 to pass through. Traffic is held up in the other direction until the large vehicles are through. Actually, traffic is pretty much one-way all day long.
