We made a very short trip this long weekend to St. George Utah, and just had time to visit some of the sites that we have enjoyed very much in the past. We landed on Friday afternoon in Las Vegas, and drove directly to Zion National Park, and walked the Narrows. The river seemed lower, and definitely muddier, than it had been on our prior visits.

On Saturday we left St. George and drove directly to Kanarraville, UT to visit the Kanarra Creek Canyon. The local town has ceased charging for parking, but has instead started charging $9/visitor to hike the trail. A local told us that they were on track this year to gross $500k from visitors. Wow.

Finally, on our last full day, we drove out to the north rim to the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately there are a few fires in the area, and they greatly affected the visibility of the canyon and surrounding areas. We did on this visit though see more wildlife than we have ever seen here in the past, including a heard of Buffalo, Deer, etc. After having a nice dinner in the lodge, we drove home, and on the way had to stop quite a few times for deer trying to jump into the road.
