Day 15
We awoke to a relaxing morning in Zion as Mom, Dad,
Courtney, and Carter sauntered over to the Springdale Coffee Shop while I
dutifully finished my second Hunger Games book in two days. Finally we all
convened back at the RV and were on our way to the Grand Canyon and Lake
Powell. After traversing the hairy Zion Parkway with the picture of
white-knuckle driving Dad at the wheel, we quickly motored on down through
Southern Utah and into Arizona. We stopped for lunch at the scenic Vista
Encantada overlook, and it was so scenic that Dad couldn’t even stand up and
look at the same time. Lunch was tasty, and after a few pictures we rolled on
to the pièce de
résistance, Cape Royal. Cape Royal was nothing short of phenomenal and it even
allowed us to walk right up to the edge, with fences of course. The views were
as I mentioned, (insert creative adjective here), but my favorite part was
seeing Dad overcome his fear of heights by walking out onto the perilous Angels
Window point. We reluctantly left the Grand Canyon after only a slim glimpse of
what it had to offer, but departed thirsting for the cool waters of Lake
Powell.
