We've been very lucky with the weather - clear blue skies & sunshine nearly every day - but the nights have been cold, to say the least, until we got to Zion where the evenings were balmy. Wonderful!! Zion is another beautiful place but in a different way again. The canyon was narrower & vegetation lusher. We had been experiencing desert conditions for some time but now we were surrounded by greenery, autumn foliage & water, water everywhere - the Virgin River, Emerald Pools, waterfalls & wonderful hanging gardens where plants grew on cliff faces as water seeped, trickled & splashed down the rock.
Extra entertainment was laid on by a flock of wild Turkeys wandering along the road weaving in amongst the traffic jam they had caused. Very brave so near Thanksgiving & Christmas.
Footnote: we arrived at Zion on 8th November. As we've said, the weather was pretty warm. It had been 80 degrees during the day - apparently the perfect day to put up the Christmas decorations according to the woman in the office of the RV camp!
