Utah National Parks, Vegas then UK

We have be hiking and cycling around pretty much all the National Parks in Utah. Capitol Reef was very strenuous, made worse by the lack of Jan's map reading without her glasses turning a hour walk into a 3 mountain peak expedition with only a litre of water each. Kodachrome NP was a small area but had great mountain bike trail, great fun especially with no back brakes!
The highlight for all the NP’s is Bryce Canyon, it is stunning scenery and camping at 7000 ft in the forest. Loved it!
We have just spent 4 nights at Zion NP, moving camp sites most days as it was so busy for Labor Day. So well organised there, easy to get into the little town of Springdale, sweet place with restaurants and trinket shops and then you hop on the shuttle bus to all the walks.
A 5 day trip to Las Vegas was a surprise, what a good fun place and you can survive on a budget. Then a brief stopover in San Diego before heading back to the UK for 3 weeks. 
ThelmaandLousie is having a well earned rest in San Diego KOA!
