October 2010 Week 3 - Sand Hollow SP, St George & Zion

We had a couple days to fill and found a wonderful campground in Hurricane, UT not far from St George. Had a beautiful site overlooking the lake and the red rock formations. Rode our bikes on long stretches of empty roads around the lake and did some hiking in nearby Snow Canyon SP. Another lovely place to explore more on another trip. Nice walking tour of the historical sites in St George and toured the Rosenbruch Wildlife Museum. We met Bill & Jan Hendrixson from Renton and had fun getting to know them both at Sand Hollow and again at Zion. Hope to stay in touch as we had a lot in common and they are full timers too.

From St George we made a short drive to our favorite campground, Watchman at Zion National Park. I had made reservations in February so we had a great spot. We looked up at gorgeous canyon walls from every window in the coach.

The leaves are turning beautiful colors, especially the aspen. Biking the PaRus trail every day and hiking the Watchman, Riverside, and North Peak trails. Took a day trip to Bryce to hike the Queens Garden Trail. Last year I checked out because the trail has steep drop offs, sometimes on both sides. This time we both made it the whole way and figure it is part of our fear conditioning therapy ;-) We spent time again with Jan & Bill and made plans to meet up in November at Picacho Peak.
