We're rolling right along

A red tailed hawk spied on the way to the North Rim

The Grand Canyon is still grand...despite increased haze

The cliffs of Zion are vastly different from the Grand Canyon
CEDAR CITY, UT - - We have zipped from seeing condors to checking out vast formations of Mother Nature.  The structures at North Rim of the Grand Canyon haven't changed, but the views are now somewhat dulled by more haze than we remembered.  Of course the last we were at the NR is when we worked there in  the summer of 2010.
     Zion NP is more than ever inundated with vacationers.  It's a shame as we really like the park.  If we ever go back it will be later in the year when school is back in session...for obvious reasons.
    We left Zion this a.m. and headed to Cedar City where we know a Forest Service campground well above CC where is supposed to be 40-degrees tonight, not the 60+ nighttime temps at ZNP.  On the way we were happy to find that a firewood supplier (2 hefty bundles for $5) was still in business in his small town.  We discovered this family business in 2010
