From Zion UT to Las Vegas NV

This post could probably have been titled  "from this to this!" or even "from the sublime to the ridiculous" I had thought this would have been a good title Julia just as you made that comment in the car!

Our early start from Zion took us through amazing country
(we waited a little while before revealing to Margie and Julia that there was an hour time change between Utah and Nevada and we hadn't needed to leave quite so early!)


We went through the now familiar colour and contrasts of Zion National Park 


Taking drive by photos as we left.


We "climbed" through passes ......



following the ridge along the Virgin River.


Into open country with Joshua Trees.

 
Across vast plans and along open highways


Heading towards our destination for the day...


Las Vegas!

Oh my goodness! That first picture is so beautiful with all those colors!!! And the one with the straight road where you can see the real lay of the land!! OOO. I love them.

Now about Las Vegas. Take it easy there. You have more trip ahead of you. Don't need your money to run out in Vegas!!! But...HAVE FUN!!
