Took a jeep tour through Zion National Park and the surrounding areas on the Virgin River in Utah. This again is something not to miss on a trip out west. Zion is fabulous. The jeep took us to the back country in the area…….and I mean back country. We didn’t see anyone else for hours. The road …..actually is wasn’t a road but a strip of sand as wide as the jeep, most of the time. Sometimes we had to duck so as not to get hit with branches. Found out it was part of the pony express route….how cool is that. We both loved this part of the trip….driving on sand and seeing out of the way spots that most tourists don’t see unless they take a jeep tour. There is a photo in
the link below showing Ashley peering down into a canyon. The story has it that it is the s
pot that the pony express carrier would lower mail do
wn to Springdale, Utah. (this is the city we stayed in while we were in Utah). Would love to upload more photos but we are limited with internet time.
Forgot to mention - part of the tour took us to the area used for the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Also visited the historic ghost town of Grafton and Gooseberry Mesa. Photos have been added to the link.
