Zion National Park, Utah

We headed to Zion from the North Rim (yes its a late post).  Zion Canyon is beautiful and worth exploring, but our legs were too tired from the North Kaibab trail to hike the many trails.  We decided to pick the hike we would enjoy the most, the Virgin River up to the Narrows.  We hiked up the river through the narrow canyon for a couple of miles.  Hiking poles are a must for this hike as the rocks are slippery and large.  

At the campground I mistakenly reserved a spot that was shared with two other RV's (we looked out of place in comparison) and it had no shade. The campground was booked that weekend.  The rangers let us move to a spot near the restroom that was supposed to be demolished, but we had to park in our reserved spot during the day and then see if there was another spot available the following night.  Let's just say we got really efficient  at packing up and hooking up the trailer as we had to do it three times while we were there.  If you ever stay in this park in a vintage camper or tent, take a portable shower.  There are no showers at this campground and the ones in the adjacent town are on the disgusting side of sanitary.  I'm not that picky about bathrooms when camping, but the mold on the walls was gah-ross.
