The major part of the canyon in the national park is only accessible via the park's shuttle system. No private vehicles. Yesterday we just drove to the areas that we could go with the truck which included a very dark 1.1 mile tunnel. It is so narrow and low that when a tour bus or motor home comes along they switch to one way traffic then the big rigs can drive down the middle of the tunnel to avoid hitting the ceiling. We will not be going that way with the coach. We will do the shuttles tomorrow. There is another canyon in the northern part of the park called Kolob Canyon and you can drive your own vehicle there so we will do that today. It appears to be between a 75 - 100 mile round trip.
It is hard to find one picture to represent what we saw yesterday but the extremely slow internet connection we have prevents me form uploading more than one so this is the one I picked. Hopefully when we have a better connection I can post a better sampling of what Zion looks like. If you are viewing this in the blog (vs e-mail) you can click on the picture for an enlarged view.
