UYAH - Cedar Breaks & Zion Canyon

We rode about 300 miles on Monday. It was a very full day, getting home about 8 pm. When we arrived at Cedar Breaks it was 35 degrees at an elevation of 10,400 ft. The snow was still on the rocks and it made for interesting photos.



After we left Cedar Breaks we decended 5000 feet, it was quite a ride. Lunch was at Cedar City. I was determined to get to eat!

We took a side trip to the north rim of Zion, they used the local red rock for the pavement.

This was our 1st stop at Zion, we hiked about 100 yards to get this photo.

When we left the park we went through a tunnel, the two holes you see are light and air vents for the tunnel. One is at the extreme left side of the photo.

From May to Nov. everyone rides these buses through the park to help with traffic control.
This is Zion lodge, built in 1929. No vacancy this day.
We stopped at the lodge and had ice cream and enjoyed quite a view.
Many folks come here and hike and climb these rocks.
There are 4 people climbing this rock. You can see one of them in the lower right section of the photo.
This is the entrance to the tunnel.
It was very dark in the tunnel, we are approaching one of the window openings.
