Saturday we left the the huge mountains and lush trees of Montana. Then we entered the rolling hills and sparse trees of Idaho. We had been driving most all of the day so we stopped at a Flying J. We spent the night at the truck stop and had a not so very nice sleep due to the noisy trucks. Then taking off in the morning we headed towards Utah and Zion Nat’nl Park. Soon we left behind Idaho’s rolling hills and entered Utah’s rocky mountains. We drove for most of the whole day taking occasional brakes while getting gas. We can get our own gas now that we are out of Oregon, which is kind of fun.
As we neared Zion the trees faded and Sage and Rabbitbrush took over. There no longer are much trees except where there is water or someone planted one. The rocky cliffs and canyons are carpeted with Sage and Rabbitbrush. It is very dusty here and the dust is bright red. The campsite is very nice, there are showers and a pool. Also the campsite is very quiet even though there is a good amount of people here. I am looking forward to hiking and school, which we sort of start today.
