Moab to Northern Zion National park

We left Moab this morning, and are camped in Red Ledge RV Park in Kanarraville UT. We'll be here 2 nights, seeing some of Zion Natl Park, then Tuesday morning will head to the Grand Canyon South Rim, where we'll be camped for 3 nights. We weren't sure whether to go to the North Rim or the South. When it came time to decide though, there were no sites available for reservation in the North Rim (and reservations are apparently required), but lots of sites at South Rim, which is normally busier. ??  So we reserved at the South Rim for our Grand Canyon visit.

Weather was cool today, up to about 20 but down as low as 14C. An hour from our stop we ran into some rain and gusty winds, but now it's pretty clear and 21C.

Later today: we went for a short drive and hike to the northern part of Zion park, called Kolob canyons. Gorgeous!



Our hike was pretty short (a mile or so) luckily, as a storm rolled in while we were on the trail. We'd been watching it from a distance, but the thunder and lightning got too close for our comfort, so we really legged it on the way back to the car!
