Zion National Park, Virgin, Utah

Zion National Park is in the city of Virgin, Utah. When you enter the park you must pass through a mile long tunnel in the mountain. If your RV or motorhome is too tall you must pay $15 for an escort through the tunnel. If you are over a certain height - you can't enter the tunnel at all.






The rock formations here are beautiful and a true sight to see. There are many trails to hike and you leave your vehicle at the visitors center and ride the shuttle through the park. It has many stops to get off to go hike. There are also horseback rides in the park. We did it and it was lots of fun.

There is a very passive walk which is about one mile total which ends up at the waterfall that you see in the picture below.

Whether it is the ride into the park or on your way out of the park, every view is sensational.




One day, driving out of the park we saw some big horn sheep. Luckily I got close enough with my cameras zoom lens to snap a picture.


Also within the park are some petroglyths. Lucky for us we spotted the sign that lead to a short walk to view them.




See ya down the road.
