A lot of people rent RV's out here, and I'm not sure they're comfortable driving them. We arrived a bit late to sunrise at the GC last night, thanks to an especially slow RV'er. It was still spectacular, and every one out on the trail spontaneously shushed as a thick blanket of deep oranges and reds blanketed the canyon. The quiet was almost as spectacular as the colors.



We left early for Zion and it got HOT again. Luckilly, we chose a camp site (first come first serve) that sits near a cool stream/river. It saved the day! We spent a bunch of time sitting and playing in the very cool water before cooking up a quick lunch and heading into town to do some laundry.
We'll look for a good spot to watch sunset here in Zion and head up to Bryce tomorrow. (It's not too fun hanging around a campsite all day with temps over 100F...)

ps - I forgot to mention that we met a group of 32 college-age youth who are 7 weeks into a 9 week cross-country bike ride. They're doing non-profit work along the way, and reminded me a lot of AFC. It was great to talk to them even though we really miss our bikes! We also spent a night with a cool family from Paris. We taught them rumicube.

Great shot of Mike with the background canyon scenery. And those hot dogs look pretty tasty!
