We arrived at Zion and could not believe how blessed we were with another iconic campsite. We actually ended up with two here as we couldn’t reserve three nights in a row at the same site. Both sites were great. Fortunately, with a campervan it is almost a non-issue to switch sites.
We arrived late in the day on a Sunday but quickly took a hike up to Canyon Overlook as it was going to be closed the rest of the week. It was so worth it, and I’m glad we didn’t miss it!
Our first full day in Zion was spent (1) buying a new pair of shoes as one of mine must have fallen out the side of the van door the evening before,
(2) taking a hike to Watchman Overlook,
and (3) meeting up with a friend of mine from high school who was working here at Zion. Haven't seen each other in 40 years! I took a short hike to Emerald Pools with her. It was great catching up! Our big sisters are also long-time friends.
