Thursday

Last night we stayed in Green River, Utah. We'd left Colorado so late that we couldn't go all the way to Zion in a day, and to top it off there was a pretty huge thunderstorm in the area. It's only about 4 hours from here to where we want to be, though.

As we left Colorado we drove through and took a break in Glenwood Canyon, which was apparently the hardest 12 miles of the Interstate system to build. I'm glad they did, though, as it's a beautiful drive!

As we got into Utah we started to hit the electrical storm I mentioned. It looked really cool, as it was happening literally all around us, but as we were outside you could see the entire storm, with flickers of lightning but no thunder (I guess we were too far away). Utah is quite flat and desert-y, but with big mesas and buttes and other rock formations in the distance, so it's quite pretty. I'm looking forward to visiting Zion park again, as I remember it being very pretty.
