St. George and Zions National Park

Part 2 of our Spring Break was taking Harvey the RV to St. George in southern Utah and to Zion's National Park. While there, we visited with the Grondel's who live in St. George during the winter. This was a great vacation that introduced DeeAnn to another of Utah's national parks.

Harvey felt right at home. Weather was beautiful other than the high winds we experienced on the drive down and the first day in St. George.

The tunnels on the east side of the park are rather impressive. Carved from the stone nearly 100 years ago, the 1.1 mile long tunnel is complete with windows every so often.

Checkerboard Mesa.

Some of the great views of the mountains and rock formations.

Climbers are barely noticeable on the face of the rock.

More beautiful views of different parts of the park.

Great waterfall at the Temple of Sinawava.

Grondels and us enjoying a "couples" moment at the mouth of the narrows.

One of my favorite formations, the Great White Throne.

Court of the Three Patriarchs.

More wonderful views. Could you imagine working here? I did after high school for a few months. It was a great experience.

Our first stop on Friday was a visit to the St. George Visitor's center and a walk around the grounds.

Next we made a stop at the St. George Tabernacle.

The Woodruff School, part of the historic district downtown.

The area also featured a nice water park, something pleasant for the kids to enjoy on those warm days.

At lunch Friday, this was the view. I could probably get used to something like this.
