Twenty Five Zion

 


"We found love right where we are"

As we continue to post a few highlight updates from our adventures over the last few years I could not leave out this epic adventure to Zion National Park. The year was 2021 the month was September and Tanya and I were celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary. This special day called for a special trip so we made campground reservations and loaded up the "Ghost Ship" and hit the road. If you don't know what the "Ghost Ship" is well it's our trusty 1994 Ford Custom Van. We have owned her for 22 years and she continues safely transport us a year after year.

So we set out before dawn; its roughly a 7 hour drive to Zion National Park, Utah USA. We arrived before noon checked into the South Campground which is just inside the park. And let the adventure begin.


Homebase for the next 4 days

Cycling is the best way to get around the park

We decided to not go to the very top of Angels landing,
I'll just say wisdom come with age 😊






The hike down the valley views are spectacular


Our friend came back to see how our day went

You say No Showers in the campground!
Tanya says No Worries I can fix that😁


Zion what a beautiful place to see truly a wonder of the world and to spend our Anniversary there just created memory's we soon won't forget. We hope our adventures inspire you to create your own. Man has created a few beautiful places and cities; "I guess" said with a bit of sarcasm. But in the creation department nature is UNDEFEATED.  Get out there see it, feel it, taste it, hike it, bike it, LOVE IT!
