zion is great, but if you are in cedar city, hit cedar breaks and then swing down to bryce. zion is only a quick jaunt away. amazing scenery. spent many a week backpacking/traveling in that area. amazes me every time.
Thanks for all the great Tips but this was a trip for my wife to see her mom here in Ceder City.If this is what it takes to stay in CO Vs Moving back to Houston i am all for it. The 9 hr drive is not that bad.
BTW here are a few pic's i took up in Kolob Canyons . This is part of the ZION National Park UT.
