For the last part of our visit to southwestern Utah, we moved on to Zion National Park. It’s another beautiful place, but we were only able to see part of it.

Because of the high volume of tourists — the campground was full even in early November — private vehicles are now banned from the north end of the park. Instead, the Park Service runs shuttle buses. The catch? No dogs allowed on the buses. Since we had Teddy with us, that meant we couldn’t go, so we were limited to the southern quarter or so of the park.

Even so, we got to see some nice scenery and took the one hike where dogs are allowed. Maybe some day we can come back sans pooch.
