Zion National Park in Late April
From Bryce Canyon we went to Zion National Park in southwestern Utah. We stayed at Bauers Canyon RV Park in Glendale, Utah which was about a 30 minute drive to the Zion entrance along the Mount Carmel Highway. Temperatures dropped to freezing at night, so we needed our heated water hose.
Bryce Canyon and Kodachrome Basin
We were looking forward to coming back to Bryce Canyon National Park because of it’s collection of natural amphitheaters consisting of orange, red, and white hoodoos. We were less than an hours drive from Escalante, Utah. Nearby was Kodachrome Basin State Park.
