Valley of Fire State Park – Hiking
One of the aspects of Valley of Fire State Park we love the most is the ability to hike anywhere directly from your campsite. No need to get in the car to drive to a trailhead, although that is definitely a possibility. We simply get up in the morning and
Continue readingZion National Park – Hiking in East Zion
Another day, another hike. We follow OhThePlacesTheyGo and one of their blog posts mentioned a hike called “Observation Point” via East Mesa Trailhead. The Point has a great view south of the Zion Canyon along with a view down onto Angels Landing. It looked interesting to us so we decided
Continue readingZion National Park – Hiking in Zion Canyon
One of the best things about visiting our National park system is going during the off-season so you can enjoy some peace and quiet with less people and less congestion. Well, early in November at Zion, even though the shuttle buses have stopped running, proved to be still crowded. The

We made reservations back last fall hence the inexpensive price, plus we used our Interagency Pass and received a discount. The prices for the somewhat newly installed Full Hook-Ups (FHU) at Furnace Creek Campground have increased and the sites today cost quite a bit more than when we made the

To get here you drive north from Wenden, Arizona on Alamo Rd, there is one main way in and one way out. There are some other roads such as Wickenburg Rd but we are not sure if they are paved or not. We drove the Salome Hwy off of I-10

We really enjoyed our time at this wonderful national monument. We had read mixed reviews about this place and were a bit unsure but ended up absolutely loving this place. The hiking was terrific and we enjoyed the campground. We got the permit to hike to Dripping Springs one day
