I slept late this morning,  so we didn’t leave Henderson,  NV until about 9 AM.  We opened our bottle of champagne last night  to celebrate the end of the road achieved earlier in the day and this might have xontributed to the late start to the day. Our drive took us through the Lake Mead Recreation Area for about 45 miles. First time ever in this federally managed area. Once again our senior passes saves us an entry fee.  What beautiful scenery!  Red rocks and yellow rocks and many mountains to see. Not too many towns along this route.   The largest, Overton NV, was at the end just before the junction with I-15 that we had to take to get to Zion.  Here the Murano turned over 100,000 miles! Even I-15 had great scenery in this part of the country.   We passed through 3 states-NV, AZ & UT.  Sort of like being back in Delaware!  We stopped for lunch in St. George, UT.   I was really surprised at the urban sprawl and its accompanying traffic headaches. We exited the interstate a few miles past St. George and gradually made our way to smaller and smaller number of lanes and traffic signals on our way to Springdale,  UT just outside Zions where we had reservations at another Best Western.  Immediately aftwr checking in, we headed for the park to make plans for our day tomorrow.  Took the shuttles to the last stop and took a hike of 5 miles along the river to the famous Narrows. Got the shuttle down and stopped at Weeping Rock and took another hike of about 1 mile.  Shuttle once more to the History Museum to check out the views for tomorrow morning’s photo op at sunrise. Enjoyed dinner from our supplies on the balcony at the end of the hall near our room.  Saw bats flitting about getting their dinner too. Earl(ier) to bed tonight hopefully.
