Zion & Sequoia National Parks

October 2023

First, the Zion National Park. Lots of hiking trails, including The Angels Landing hike. The first part takes a couple of hours and gets you to the point where you need a permit to continue. Only a limited number are allowed on the last part of the trail where you have chains to hold on to because of the steep and narrow climb. We did not have permits, and that part of the trail was closed for maintenance while we were there, anyway.

Beginning of The Narrows hike through river. (We did not do this one).

Travel from Utah to California

Next we drove to Sequoia National Park in California. A short portion of our trip was on Route 66 in Barstow, California. Lots and lots of traffic and windmills. Also saw acres of solar panels.
