A travel note of the Grand Circle lap, day 1.
\nThe first destination is Zion National Park.\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0is\u00a0about 3 hours drive from Las Vegas,<\/a>\u00a0but please be aware that it will be one hour ahead of the time difference from Nevada State to Utah State.<\/p>\n

Gods retreat<\/h3>\n

From the view spot of Mount Carmel Highway, past the gate of the entrance of the National Park.\u00a0As its name suggests, a large rocky mountain rises devinely.<\/p>\n

A base town of Zion\u00b7 Springdale<\/h3>\n

First of all check in at the inn.\u00a0The parking lot in the park was crowded, but it is convenient to stay, as the free shuttle bus runs throughout the town center of\u00a0 Springdale and the gate of Zion National Park.<\/p>\n

We stayed at Holiday Inn Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"20160724-gc-day1-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The city of Springdale is at the entrance of the valley.\u00a0It’s a wonderful landscape from the inn<\/a>.\u00a0It may be nice to relax in the pool during the hot day.<\/p>\n

\"20160724-gc-day1-9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"20160724-gc-day1-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We change clothes according to today’s hiking route and we will finally start on Zion trip.\u00a0The time is already early afternoon and in the summer Grand Circle it is a difficult time to act outside.\u00a0However, Zion has a trail that can be enjoyed even in this burning hell.<\/p>\n

\"20160724-gc-day1-56\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In\u00a0Oscar’s Cafe<\/a>\u00a0near the inn\u00a0, get on a lunch with Mexican-style dishes.\u00a0Black sesame?\u00a0Or I got something ‘s chips and burrito.<\/p>\n

Virgin river rising trail \u00b7 Narrows<\/h3>\n

We will rent an important item “wooden cane” at\u00a0Zion Outfitter<\/a>\u00a0, an\u00a0outdoor shop near the shuttle bus stop for Zion National Park\u00a0.\u00a0It was 7 dollars a piece.<\/p>\n

\"20160724-gc-day1-13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the park, we will take you on this two-way shuttle bus.\u00a0It is harsh in the summer because there is no air-conditioner … I thought of becoming a heat stroke ,,,,,.\u00a0It seems that there is a thunderstorm at this season in the evening, so be sure to stop by the visitor center before you board the bus and check the flood forecast.<\/p>\n

\"Zion<\/a>

Zion NP, Utah<\/p><\/div>\n

Get off at the stop called Temple of Sinawava, the deepest part you can reach by shuttle bus.\u00a0From here we go into the trail called Riverside Walk along the Virgin River which built this Zion Valley and proceed further.<\/p>\n

\"20160724-gc-day1-20\"<\/a>

There are many squirrels beside the trail.\u00a0It seems that tourists have come close to approaching by foods given easily. (Feeding to wild animals is prohibited.)<\/p>\n

There was also a fat guy with plenty.\u00a0Slow movement, get used to humans and do not run away at all.\u00a0Let’s not give food because they are cute.<\/p>\n

The end of the Riverside walk, the big quay approaching both banks of the Virgin River is the beginning of Zion’s specialty trail “The Narrows”.\u00a0The Virgin River itself is a hiking course, and it will proceed as it faces the inside of the river.<\/p>\n

The body that was in the hot desert climate is also relaxed and healed.<\/p>\n

\"20160724-gc-day1-15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The quays will settle on both sides of the river.\u00a0Just “Narrows”.\u00a0It seems that in a deeper place it will be as wide as a human being.<\/p>\n

\"20160724-gc-day1-17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are many trail courses in Zion, but there are few trails that can be enjoyed in the midsummer daytime, so they are crowded with hikers.<\/p>\n
