My diary doesn't say, but I think we spent this night in Kanab, Utah.

Scenes from Zion National Park

(Frank) 8:04:43 am. Ready to leave, but waiting for Alan to repair his 4th flat tire on this trip. Two of his flats have gone down at night, and two went flat on the road.

As we leave Zion we marvel at the colored layers of rocks. The steep climb goes slowly and we wonder how many years it took Mother Nature to make each inch of elevation we climb. The only disappointment with Zion is we arrived during a heat wave. 105 degrees is rough when on bikes and staying in tents. It's even rougher when one is dehydrated from the flu.
