Drove in from Kanab back to Zion. I feel so lucky, I got to drive highway 9 into Zion twice! It is still breathtaking. I was looking for the Doggie Dude Ranch, Curly has an appointment and saw the turnoff for Kolob Canyon. One local told me this was his favorite part of the park. Of course it was stunning. It was interesting to see the back side of some of what I saw from inside. It was also less crowded. It is 20 miles up a windy road, paved thank goodness. At the top is Kolob Resevoir, not part of Zion. It is an idyllic lake/resevoir for fishermen etc. It looked like an alpine setting. Drove back down and was going to camp near the river. Too many bugs and too hot. I got a pet room at Canyon Ranch in Springdale, just outside of Zion. Nice people, comfortable room - plain but sufficient. Nice grounds too. Slept well. Curly and I had a bath. Now I will take Curly to the daycare and have a day in Zion. Last day before officially heading home, unless of course I stay one more day. Including a few pictures from the drive yesterday.
