From the Zion Canyon Campground and RV Park; N37°11.582’ W112°69.475’

Another clear day after the coldest night we have had since being here.

I left the park to do a few caches toward Hurricane. I found nine on the way and four in La Verkin and Hurricane.

Since the sun was shining we had decided to go in Zion Park and see if we could get more pictures of leaves turned color. We did get some nice pictures, but not so many of foliage. Between the wind and two cold nights the colors had got duller or the leaves were gone. We also didn’t count on so many stops for the construction; more was going on than on rainy days. Outside the east entrance of Zion we did see the “pumpkin truck.”

We went to dinner at the Amigo Mexican Restaurant in Springdale. It was ok, not great.

Tomorrow is the trip home. When I extended our stay to a total of six days, I was told we could stay a seventh for free. Too bad, we have to get home.
