We've made it to the penultimate day of our vacation - tomorrow finds us packing and driving to Salt Lake City, so now's as good a time as any to finish up the travel updates.
You may recall that the North Rim of the Grand Canyon had become a flaming inferno at the time of our last installment. Thus, we made our escape from Arizona to start the Zion portion of our trip a few days early.
But, we spent some time in St. George, Utah. Why? For legal and ethical reasons, we'll have to post our reasons when we leave the state. Suffice it to say it was a required stop and that we were endangering our lives up until that point. How's that for a cliffhanger?
In St. George, we discovered the most amazing ice cream parlor. Anyone familiar with Blue Bunny ice cream? Do yourself a favor and buy a half gallon tonight. A future blog will detail how fabulous and amazing this place is - photos are required, and we can't upload them yet.
Alas, we learned that all of the great trails that bald Ranger Pat recommended to us were CLOSED at Zion, due to another wildfire. So, our time at Zion has been spent doing some hiking, avoiding the crazy hot weather, fending off asthma attacks (Amy only), and watching a lone mouse try to swim upstream. Also, we saw some turkeys roosting in trees, which were pretty cool.
Please be on the lookout for photos, a more detailed travelogue, and the real reasons for our visit to St. George in just a few short days. Until then...
