I think I'll have to say the same thing I did last time [MENTION=137810]KingTaco[/MENTION] posted a pic and [MENTION=53960]itsdchz[/MENTION] gave you awesome travel advice...the pics don't do Zion justice, you need to see it in person. It is personally a tie for my favorite NP with Yosemite. The Grand Canyon as breathtaking as it is because of its enormity doesn't hold a candle to Yosemite valley or Zion IMO.

Whaaaaaasssssuuuuupppp!!!
DAY I think 27
I'm at Jacks sports bar outside if Zion NP which thanks for convincing me to go because it was cool. I hiked up the Canyon deal and then climed to the top of the highest part I could manage!! Wow it was great, unfortunately it was raining but it was still beautiful. Side not DC shoes great for skating, stunt bike riding, mountain bike rides and Harley riding not good for hiking. There were a couple of time I slipped on the sand on top of the rocks and almost felt as if I should tell tember because bless the poor people below me if I fall I'm taking them all out!!!
I campped in the truck last night and no one botored me which was great, either they didn't notice or didn't care but none the less I may try that again tonight!! I woke up at 430 to 35 degree temps and my tire light on. I was not that comfy due to the fact that I slept in the front seat so tonight I won't do that. Anyways I got up, chased the sunset between desert view and grand view and was able to catch a little bit
I checked the tires and they were not significantly low so I figured it was due to the drastic temp changes is why the light came on. I went to gas station to fill up with gas and air and the light went off, I rechecked and all was good so off I went. I decided to head towards camron and then to North rim to try to see the Canyon in the sun. On the way to Cameron I found some dirt Rd tracks and took them and I'm so glad I did. What and awesome Trail(s) and some great sights
From there I went into Cameron and had breakfast. Ever since the Grand sand dunes in Colorado where I had this boritto deal with green chili sauce I have been addicted. So I tried a breakfast burrito with it.

DAY 27ish continued pic limit
So after breakfast I headed to North rim, on the way through the painted desert I found some blm and bla rds that I explored
This is a bad area for these horses!!
From there it was off to Vermilion Cliffs
I made my way to the north rim to find that it was closed!! Till next week so I ate a sandwich, and decided since it was snowing and crappy that I would head to Zion to camp instead of here.

Your life is now changed forever. In a good way. And now, your life quest will be to find more dirt roads, and better green chili! Cheers!

Awesome trip. I had the idea to do something similar (with my dog) about 10 years ago when I got divorced. But work obligations and all that shit deterred me from doing it. Looking back, I should've done it. Congrats to you for doing it and safe travels.

Toroweep is awesome, I did it last year and highly recommend. Need permit to camp right at rim because it is NPS land, but lots of places to camp for free a few miles back on BLM land.
I definitely do and have such an extreme appreciation for what he is doing its awesome :rockon:

While your are near Zion NP and Kanab, I would suggest a short half-hour stop at Pipe Spring National Monument. This is a small lesser known place, but preserve an historic important fact about the West, water management and conflicts that occurred.
