Thursday left Zion and went bakc to Vegas to catch a 6am flight Friday morning. about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Zion to Vegas.
We flew into Vegas last Saturday (Nov 4th). My husband and three kids, ages 13,10 and 6. Spent the day there. Stayed at the Flamingo.
We went to the Mirage and saw the tigers and dolphins,
and walked around the strip.
Sunday morning we were out early to get to the Grand Canyon. We first stopped at the Grand Canyon Caverns and that was such a cool tour. We all liked it. Then we moved onto the Grand Canyon.
This was my second time at the Canyon and it still amazes me. It was the first time for my family.
We saw a male mule deer eating grass right outside our hotel, Kachina. Then when we checked in at El Tovar we saw 3 elk!
how cool is that??!!
Monday morning we got up at sunrise, there was a full moon, so we saw that set. It was beautiful!
We spent the day going to Ranger programs, and just wandering around the canyon. We then saw 7 Big horned Sheep!!
My kids were thrilled at all the wildlife we were seeing.
Monday evening we did another Ranger program, a moonlight walk. Because of the full moon the Canyon was lit up!!
Tuesday we got up early and drove to Page AZ to see Antelope Canyon. OMG this place was unbelieveable!!
We then moved on to Bryce Canyon in Utah. Utah is such a beautiful State!! We stated at the Best Western Ruby Inn.
We saw Bryce, then hit the hotel for dinner and the kids went to the pool.
Wed. we got up and saw all of Bryce, drove from view point to view point.
We saw a bald Eagle at the lake at Ruby Inn.
Then it was on to our next stop Zion National Park. We arrived to Zion, only to have to go through this loong tunnel, and once on the other side we had to drive down intp the Canyon. It was a great drive down and once in the Canyon it immediately became my favorite Park!!
We stayed in Springdale at the Best Western Zion Inn.
The cottonwood trees were a beautiful yellow, the canyon walls were all colors, it was just wonderful!!
We got up on Thursday and hiked in Zion, then headed back to Vegas
