Still Troy's Favorite National Park - Zion

We had a reservation to stay within Zion at the Watchman Campground however Lisa made reservations initially for the wrong dates (oops) and we were unable to revise. The computer system at the park was all messed up (It was booking people at different parks in different states) and since we needed to change our dates we had to cancel since the computer system could not rebook. Which meant we had to wake up early (yuck!) and head to Zion to try to get one of the first come, first serve spots. Guess what, it was our lucky day, we got a spot for 1 night and it was right on the river, very cool! The campground was great, perfect for the puppies and we had amazing views from our site.

We spent the next 2 nights down the road within walking distance to the park, local stores and restaurants. The campground was right on the river as well and we could hear the water rushing past us as we enjoyed our first campfire of the trip. Weird that we have not had a campfire up until this point considering we had been “camping” for almost a month however many places we have stayed did not permit campfires or we were just too whipped at the end of the day to “deal” with it! Here is the view from our campsite - not too shabby!
During the busy months the park does not allow vehicles on the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive so we took the tram the park offers to explore the scenic drive. Stopped at a few of the sites along the way and enjoyed a nice leisurely stay at Zion. Well Lisa had a leisurely stay, Troy on the other hand biked the scenic drive. Very hilly but for some reason he likes the hills, strange!
