Kolob Terrace, Zion

We rode from Springdale to Virgin and hung a right -
and enjoyed the "road less traveled" up to Kolob Terrace. What we thought would be a short climb up to a gentle plateau was more of a quad buster... Pretty much all uphill for 22 miles, with pitches in the double digits - up to a summit over 8,000'. Another incredible ride in Utah! 68 miles with 5,750 feet of climbing!

A Family Trip to Zion and Bryce

Our Christmas gift to Deb's folks was tickets to the Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas, LOVE. We figured if we got them to Vegas we could lure them to Southern Utah... because it's just plain wrong to go through life without seeing the incredible sights of Zion and Bryce.

We so rarely get to spend time with our folks... and this trip was a wonderful, meaningful experience for each of us. It meant a lot for us to share the beauty of Utah with them.

We stayed in our RV so they could get a taste of what our life is like on the road. "Home" was at the Zion Campground in Springdale. Here are Howard and Anne down by the Virgin River.



We did a short hike on the Canyon Overlook Trail. It had been a long, long time since the folks went "off road."

This is why it's called the Canyon Overlook.

Stopping to see Checkerboard Mesa in Zion.

Here we are in Bryce as we started our short hike on the Navajo trail.
Bryce is one of the most unique and most beautiful places on the planet. The folks loved it! Who wouldn't???
