To Zion

Blue for the color of the sky.  Not a cloud to be seen.  It was a very interesting trip.  Getting to Zion was easy.  Getting through Zion was challenging to say the least.  We entered the park from the East and traveled through the Main (South) entrance.  There was 'road work,' there were switchbacks, tunnels...and amazing views of the canyon.  We arrived at our campground, which is located only a block from the Main Entrance to the Park, about noon.
There is a shuttle which stops in front of the campground and runs through the Park.  You can get on and off at any of the numerous stops.  Tomorrow we are going to take a ranger-led shuttle ride.  We have a few short hikes planned.  This afternoon we saw a huge screen movie about the history of the canyon.  It was very interesting.
K fixed a wonderful dinner of  Portabello Mushroom Lasagne, herbed bread, and salad.  Not a finer place to eat.
Today it was 96 degrees, tomorrow it is supposed to reach 97 with 98 predicted for Monday.  I really hope the weather man gets it wrong this time!!!
