About 4 hours from Las Vegas is Zion National Park. Located in Utah, the main attraction is a canyon but by water streams over thousands of years to form a canyon which exposes thousands of years of geological history. A shuttle bus will take to to all the main stopping points along the canyon and also gives you a brief description of each place to give you a better appreciation of what you are looking at. The area was first settled by Mormons and thus many of the names are Biblical in origin.
The Three Patriarchs. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The water dripping down this rock face is the result of water which has seeped through the sandstone over 1200 years! Apparently it reaches a non porous rock at this point and seeps out sideways.
The shuttle bus. Propane fuelled to save the environment.
Food watch: We stayed in a little place near Bryce Canyon where we found a nice little restaurant who did amazing corn chowder and blueberry pies. Mmmm.
