Stop 6: Hurricane, UT and Zion National Park

From Green River we headed to Hurricane.  We checked in at our hotel, our 3rd Super 8 (best prices and breakfast included), and got settled.  We decided to go to Zion National Park that afternoon.  It was a little complicated because there’s a shuttle system, but we went to hike the Riverside Walk up to the Narrows.  Unfortunately, they didn’t let us know that part of the trail was closed to strollers, but we improvised.  At the end of the trail we played in the river.

Clara enjoyed riding on the shuttle on a seat like a big girl, and she made sure that everyone was holding on to the handles on the way back.  We recommend Zion National Park, but a baby carrier would make it a lot more accessible!  Back at the hotel, we had fun doing Clara’s hair the next morning.

Then it was time to head to Vegas.

Stop 5: Vail, CO and Green River, UT

After leaving Bailey, we drove through the mountains back to I-70. We were high enough up that there was snow on the ground next to us! It was also a nice route because it took us right through Breckenridge. We didn’t stop there because Clara was sleeping. Instead, we stopped in Vail. They were have a special restaurant weekend for Memorial Day, but we decided to stay low key and have a picnic in the middle of town.

 

 

 

There’s not a whole lot to write about in Green River, but I think they’re known for melons because there were signs for them all throughout town. Clara’s favorite part was again the remote (“re-re”) and TV in hotel room. I was excited because there was a Subway for dinner; unfortunately, everyone else in the state of Utah thought they should eat at the same Subway.  Chris found a sign in the bathroom very amusing.

We had a relaxing morning at the hotel and headed for Hurricane, UT and Zion National Park on Tuesday.
