Miles: 7,293States: 23 (Nevada)
Thursday, Jason and I left lake Powell for Las Vegas. We were intending to see the north rim of the Grand Canyon, but were tiring of all the drive-by sightseeing. We took the north route instead, which took us toward Zion national park. A large sign on Utah-9 informed us all through traffic must pay the $25 park fee, so it was decided we were doing drive-by sightseeing in another national park.

Zion re-affirmed my belief that the best travel happens when you're not planning it. The park is just stunning. It's more awe-inspiring than the Grand Canyon, because here we could actually drive through the canyons, including a long, dark tunnel through one of the mountains. (Are they mountains?) Jason and I felt the past week produced increasingly bizarre and beautiful landscapes - the Grand Canyon to Monument Valley to Zion. And yet again, photos can't capture these landscapes. Jason's been taking panoramic videos with his iPhone - that gives a bit better sense. But go there.
