Slot Canyons Inn, Zion NP, and Vegas



We had a very enjoyable hike into a small back canyon behind the Slot Canyons Inn. We explored the rock ledges and found many native American petroglyph on the rock faces. We then got rained on again...all morning with the temperature in the 60s...the desert was green! We were told this is very unusual weather for this time of year. Zion NP was celebrating its centennial, the weather was great and was getting warmer, and by the time we reached Nevada it was 105. In Las Vegas the kids took a roller-coaster ride in the New York, New York Hotel and we watched a water show at the Bellagio, and then an erupting volcano at the Mirage.
