Zion RV Trip- May 2024

Karen Jones | August 31, 2025

This time, we took a week-long RV adventure through the stunning landscapes of Utah visiting the Zion National Park and even had a private tour to the Slot Canyons.

Our journey took us through several beautiful spots, but the highlight was definitely Zion. The sheer power and magnificence of nature there are breathtaking.

We explored the local towns, enjoyed some fantastic local food, and just soaked in the serene atmosphere. The parts of Utah we visited were so clean, and everyone we met was incredibly friendly.

The tour to the famous Slot Canyons was awesome! While we were exploring, our furry travel companions, Jake and Ella, were having their own fun at a local doggy day camp.

On our way home, we made a quick stop at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. While it was beautiful, we have to say that in our experience, the South Rim offers an even more spectacular view.

We took another route home through Fredonia-Vermillion Cliffs Scenic Road, a 92-mile highway (State Route 89A) that runs from Bitter Springs, Arizona, through the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, and ends in Fredonia, Arizona. What a spectacular drive that was! This was our longest trip yet! Another incredible time exploring our beautiful country!
