We are very pleased with the Red Ledge Campground. It is quite small and quiet. We had not even finished setting up until the owners came over to invite us to a cookout they were having that evening. We had a great time visiting with the other guests and eating. Nearly everyone brought some food to share. It was a great evening. On Monday we went to Cedar City, about 10 miles away, to Walmart for groceries. This town of about 21,000 is very clean and has about every kind of business any could need. This is a very nice area with temperatures averaging in the 80’s in June. We are enjoying it. Tuesday, May 30 we drove to Zion National Park. Immediately upon arriving we boarded a shuttle bus which takes visitors up into the canyon. There are several stops along the way leading to walking trails to view the canyon walls which rise to more than 10,000 feet. Some of the trails climb to the top and others just to viewing points of interest. We walked about 4 to 5 miles total. Our praises to God for the beauty He has created for everyone to enjoy. Zion National Park is viewed from the canyon floor and Bryce Canyon, which we will see in a few days, is viewed from the mesa, the top of the cliffs.
