What a difference a day makes!

We finally left sick camp. Neither of us could bear the thought of staying there another day, we headed off this morning. Twenty minutes up the road were some well-preserved petroglyphs, offering a glimpse into the lives and stories of the tribes that once inhabited this area. A bit further up the road were dinosaur foot prints.

Next stop, Zion National Park. This was an incredible drive through towering sandstone cliffs with vibrant shades of red, orange, and pink. There was a scary historic tunnel to go through dating back to 1931! It was 1.7km long, dark and narrow. But we made it.

After Zion, we headed to the coral pink sand dunes national park, but they were fully booked. But the drive was neat to see the colourful dunes, which I thought were more orange than pink.

There were plenty of places to free camp today, but I decided I wanted power for our heater. I don’t want our covid to go backwards. It was a lovely warm day today, and we are at lower elevation and feeling much better for it.

Tonight we are staying in Kanab, a town surrounded by red mountains. A burger joint across the road summoned us. I chose the healthier grilled chicken option, while mike had a burger.

And Mike had a shower for the first time in a week!

We are both very excited about things to see around this area.
