Ok back on the time machines we fast forward to Zion National Park.
On arriving at Zion it was clear the rock formations were very different to the others.
They consist of large waves of smooth rock, all the faces on various angles giving it quite an unusual moonscape.
Soon we disappeared into the 1 mile long tunnel only to pop out into a completely different world.
As we were running a little late in the day we decided to go to the camp ground first and set up, too late, FULL!!
We rode in anyway looking for a fello rider to share a site with, the camp host came over and asked us what we were doing so we explained to him, he said follow me I will take you over to a motorcycle which he did, we wrote a note and left it on his bike, we were going to head out of camp and leave our bikes with the host.
No sooner we decided to do that the neighbours (Steve and Roye) turned up on the other side, I went over to them and told them we chased a Squirrel out of their chilli bin only to find out it wasn’t theirs anyway.
So we got chatting, we ended up sharing their site that night and taking it over the following day when they left.
In between times we bought some red wine for a treat and they served up some tortilla chips and had some pre dinner chat and nibbles, very nice indeed, thank you to Steve and Roye for your welcoming hearts and hospitality, it was very nice for us.
Given they had been to New Zealand and even in Wanaka in March this year they new of where we lived which was really neat.
That following morning it was a bubble and squeek cook up of leftovers and need to finishes, this set us up nicely for the big day ahead of us that we had planned of stomping up a the Narrow River Canyon on the Virgin River and visiting the pools etc.
The day was stinking hot, up in the late 90’s or about 38 degrees C in normal language so it was really nice to get back to camp already set up, we spent the day canyoning and climbing, beautiful place.
Under a waterfall
Rock faces reaching to the sky that really stuff around with the human gyroscope
Next morning we packed up to the next leg of our Journey to to Henderson which is part of Vegas.
Stinking hot so we decided to go for a swim in Lake Mead, the water temperature was 84 degrees F ... not far off steaming!!! yay that is how I like it.
Off into Henderson to make an assault on the big city, Starbucks was calling for a Frapaccino and some food for travels.
