Zion National Park 4.6.2016

Today we left Las Vegas and drove the 180 miles to Zion. 
We took a taxi from the hotel to the car rental centre and were on our way in less than 30 minutes. (TIP - Don't bother with hotel shuttles in Vegas, a taxi from the airport was $20 and to the car rental base $15 - the group shuttle buses are about $11 each, each way ,and call in at any number of hotels before they may get to yours.)
We have an annual Vehicle Hire Insurance policy so don't have to worry about any of the "extras" the car rental firms try to sell you and we'd brought our own sat nav too (so organised). Little bonus was that there is a sat nav in the car already (so now we've got 2!) We always agree to return the car full of fuel ( a Martin Lewis tip) - as we're driving across remote parts of the country we'd make sure we keep it topped up anyway. We've got a Jeep Compass btw - nice and roomy, feels very safe. 

Straight forward drive on the I -15 through some spectacular scenery. Check out the view from our bedroom window for a taste of what's to come.
