Day 12
Camped near Zion National Park, UT> Explored Zion National Park> Boozed at Grand Canyon> Camped near Grand Canyon
We woke up bright an early fairly used to the national parks and camping ready for our last day of national parks for a few days. The plan was Zion national park… the most popular park in Utah, then on to the Grand Canyon. We showered up and drove 5 mins to Zion. Immediately we were greeted by Big Horn Sheep and smooth cliffs of sandstone.
The park was pretty cool at the beginning but the coolest part came after driving through a mile long tunnel through a mountain. We emerged on the other side to find Zion canyon. The colors, the trees, and the river running through the bottom were amazing. Zion is popular enough that the park has created a system of free shuttle busses to go up and down the canyon all day long. We saw amazing things and a few amazing spots where on every side of you were huge bright red canyon walls with a beautiful blue river flowing through it. The park was unbelievable.
Once done with yet another scenic overload we started heading over to the Grand Canyon. This time however we decided to visit this National treasure as John and Travis should. We stopped for a 6 pack of craft beer made by the….. Grand Canyon Brewing Company…. and continued on our way. We arrived around 6 and found a great spot overlooking the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We watched the sunset while sitting on our chairs on top of a big boulder inches from the edge. We cracked our beers had a few conversations with a few jealous tourists and truly appreciated the awesome moment.
