Day Two - Travel Day & Zion National Park

Another early start.  Checked out of the hotel at 6am and reached Salt Lake City about 9am and our tumblies were rumbling. 

We hit our first DDD (Diners, Drive-in & Dives - reference to Footnetwork show) place.  Haha haha yeah it was most definately a dive and it was like hipster/hippy kids ran the joint.  They all looked like they just rolled outta bed.  But the food was pretty good.  I had a classic eggs Benny and kels had a meaty breakfast platter.  As with all things in the states portions are huge (right mina!?!?!?!).  So with full bellies we headed to Zion National Park.

Awe-inspiring, bereath-taking, gorgeous - these words only partially describe Zion.  Such a contrast in beauty.  Couldn't have asked for better weather either.  28 degrees and barely a cloud in sky.  There is so much life in the desert and my opinion has changed drastically. There was a 1.1 mile tunnel we had to go through to get to the other side of the park and it was one way traffic only.  We didn't hike in Zion but there were lots of pullouts and we stopped frequently to take it all in and take pictures.

After Zion we made our way to Flagstaff but along the way we stopped at Glen Canyon.  It was just a fortaste of what we are going to see tomorrow at the Grand Canyon. But it was amazing nonetheless and we saw Condors soaring above the canyon. It was crazy windy! 

We ended up pulling into Flagstaff just after 8 and decided to try the local pizza.  Pretty cool joint and we ended up getting it to go.  Wow they had the most amazing pesto cheesy bread (note to self try making this at home!!).  It was unbelievably good.  Stayed at the Motel 6 and was disappointed.  They charged for wifi!  And they was no amenities in the room.  Ya never staying at a Motel 6 again.  And seriously what is with the showers!?!?!?! They were NOT made for people taller that 5'5. 

Day two done.  Signing off...
