Zion: Human History Museum

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

Zion National Park is located near Springdale, Utah.  Unlike Bryce Canyon National Park, you are unable to drive through the park from March to October.  During these months, you must park you car and ride the shuttle.  Most people park at the visitor center, but if you get to the park after 10:00 am on most days, you’ll probably need to park in Springdale and take a free shuttle to the visitor center. At the visitor center, we picked up a Junior Ranger guide for Munchkin.  Once again, we took along our Your Guide to Zion and Bryce Canyon National…

Sand Hollow State Park

Sand Hollow State Park is a campground that calls to boaters, fisherman, and off-roaders alike.  You see, this state park has different campground options to accommodate many different types of campers.  Why did D decide that he wanted to come to this particular campground?  Well, he thought Munchkin would like the lake, but he also liked that we could hit lots of trails/open riding spaces with the dirt bike and RZR directly from our campsite. The park was also a great location to be able to head over to Zion National Park and one other interesting stop.  We had gotten…

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

Fairyland Canyon is just outside of Bryce Canyon’s park gates, so we stopped here on the way out of the park when we were headed back to the campground.  Even with the cloudy skies and rain, it was a beautiful view.  With as stunning as the views were on a stormy, cloudy day, I can only imagine how breath-taking many of these stops would have been on a clear day. As we were leaving, we looked down onto the cliffs below and spotted a single, small yellow flower growing out of the rocks.  Somehow, this little flower had found a…

Bryce Canyon: Rainbow Point

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

As we headed to Rainbow Point, the rain really begun to come down.  We had hoped that the sun would peak through the clouds and produce a lovely rainbow for us.  That was not to be on this day.  Rainbow Point would be our final stop in Bryce Canyon as we decided not to hike to Yovimpa Point.  Thanks to the shelter of a building and some trees, we were able to keep from getting completely soaked on this leg of our journey. We have one final stop at Bryce Canyon before we move on to our next destination, but…
