Springdale was settled in 1862 and has a population of less than 1,000 people. Located just outside of Zion National Park, it only has an area of 4.6 square miles. Springdale is mostly a tourist town with plenty of restaurants and shops.
Golden Spike National Historic Park is located just north of the Great Salt Lake at Promontory Summit, Utah. We were in route from San Diego to West Yellowstone and weren’t sightseeing at all, but had to check this site out because of the historical significance.
Bighorn sheep can be found in western North America, northern Mexico and Baja California. We enjoy seeming them because they are usually located in rugged mountains, have impressive horns, and don’t seem to mind getting photographed from a distance.
Snow at Bryce Canyon, or any National Park has always been a dream come true to see, but it’s usually impractical. Motorhomes, even though ours weighs over 40,000 pounds, don’t do well in the snow without dumping the tag axle or putting on chains. The Jeep however does great. We’ve never worried since we could just stay a few extra days until the snow melts or buy motorhome chains.
Kanab, Utah was about an hour and a half drive from Page, Arizona. We’ve been in the area before, but never spent much time exploring it. Kanab is a Paiute word meaning “place of the willows”.
Gouldings is a favorite stop when passing through the area. This is our third visit. The Navajo Nation still had Monument Valley closed because of COVID.
