Mar 25-26 - Utah to Arizona

Mar 25st - Sunday - Hurricane,,UT
Today we went to Kolob Zion park. It is a much smaller version of Zion with more amazing rock formations. We went on a short (just over a mile round trip) walk for a better view of the Finger Canyons - a series of valleys formed by rivers. We did not get going early enough to go to Bryce Canyon park - will have to go there some other time.
It was obvious that we were in “church” country today - there were very few stores open.
We heard a weather forecast that included 3-6 inches of snow in Salt Lake City so that really reinforced our feeling that we needed to get back into warmer weather.

Mar 26th - Monday - Arizona
Headed south this morning. We just hit I15 and went right through Las Vegas. Then onto I515 and across the Boulder Dam (Hoover Dam). I was disappointed that the parking for RVs was so far up the hill that we were not going to walk back down for a tour.
We stopped at a tourist info center in Kingman, AZ and thought we would continue on to Williams. But it had been windy all day which makes driving tiring so when we saw an RV park a few miles out of Kingman we decided to spend the night. Took the opportunity to do laundry and also have WiFi so have to update the blog.
