Day 4: Sunday July 1, 2007

Day 4: Sunday July 1, 2007Today we left Bryce Canyon and drove through Zion National Park on our way to Las Vegas. The road through Zion had incredible switchbacks and ran through the mountains. Where Bryce had jagged mountains and vast canyons, Zion had mountains that appeared etched and smooth. We continued on to Las Vegas in 110 plus degree heat. After the national parks, Las Vegas was a bit of a shell-shock! Our hotel, The Hilton Flamingo had over 2000 rooms. Our room overlooked the Bellagio where we had a great view of the fountains. We walked around at night to see some of the sights and a closer view of the Bellagio fountains which are set to music.
