      Auf und ab

      May 16, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
      1

      Höhepunkte:
      Frühstück mit echtem Geschirr
      Konnten schon Mittag unser Zimmer beziehen. Ein günstiges Motel und gut.
      Die Wanderung am Fluss entlang im Zion NP
      Kampf einer Klapperschlange mit einem Streifenhörnchen beobachtet

      Negativ:
      Sind nach Navi großen Umweg gefahren, aber tolle total andere Landschaft mit Schneeresten erlebt.
      Der Zion NP war total überfüllt und chaotisch aber
      wegen einer Menschenansammlung sind wir auf die Klapperschlange aufmerksam geworden, die sich gegen ein wütendes Squirll verteidigen musste.
      Das war mal ein nicht so toller Tag, aber wir sind von den vielen Eindrücken ein bisschen übersättigt.      Read more

      Capitol reef e Days inn

      August 10, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

      Nottata movimentata per Martina e Andrea che dividono la stanza con un grazioso grillo. Tutto va bene finché non decide di svegliare i compagni di camera iniziando a cantare nel bel mezzo della notte. Per fortuna Andrea si rivela un eroe non meno valoroso di Liubi e Nicola, e riesce a mandare via l’insetto canterino, così tutti possiamo tornare a dormire sereni.
      Il risveglio è un po’ lento per alcuni di noi, forse a causa di qualche birra di troppo. Mentre facciamo colazione, Nicola ci racconta di aver visto una persona aggirarsi per casa nella notte: ciò ci conferma che sì, abbiamo bevuto un po’ troppo ieri sera. Raduniamo le nostre cose e alle 8 lasciamo l’appartamento.
      Il parco che ci aspetta oggi è Capitol reef, ci arriviamo dopo due ore di auto e decidiamo di fare un trekking ad anello di circa 8 km, per arrivare ad un punto panoramico che ci permette di vedere la vallata dall’alto. Il percorso è molto affascinante perché è formato da un insieme di rocce di moltissimi colori, tra cui il nero che contrasta con la sabbia bianca che sembra quella del mare. Le rocce, che sono sabbiose, hanno la particolarità di essere incastonate da buchi più o meno grandi. Arrivati in cima la vista è pazzesca: possiamo ammirare il contrasto tra il fiume che scorre sotto con la vegetazione verde che cresce sulla riva, il tutto in contrasto con le rocce spoglie delle montagne ai lati.
      Rientriamo alla macchina e forse l’aspetto che ricordiamo con più piacere dell’escursione sono gli ottimi sandwich a tre strati preparati da Nicola.
      Andiamo a Days inn per la notte e per cena ci concediamo un ottimo hamburger.      Read more

      Zion National Park

      June 19, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      After a night in a really flash but cheap casino in North Las Vegas we got on the road to Zion National Park, Zion Canyon just out of Hurricane Utah.

      There are no words to describe this place. We parked the car at Springvale and got onto the park service shuttle bus that drops you at the various hikes.

      We went to stop 9, Temple of Sinawaba and walked up the Riverside hike to the narrows our second stop was a 7 Weeping rock. Both of these locations were just amazing and no photo can do justice to the depth of the canyon and the colours and various structures.
      There are 9 walks in total and we were told that these two are spectacular, but you would need several days to cover the rest of these.

      The saying bigger and better in America really strikes a chord when it comes to their National Parks. I do keep reminding everyone that we have Mt Cootha.

      Now back in Hurricane sitting waiting for laundry to finish. It's still 32 degrees C whilst Brisbane is apparently shivering.

      Bryce Canyon tomorrow. But we again we will go via Zion to take in a different angle from the through road.      Read more

      Vegas Baby

      March 8 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Today was pretty much a travel day where we left Springdale Vegas bound.

      Dave follows a guy on YouTube who does offroad recoveries in a place called Hurricane. It just so happened that Hurricane was on our way to Vegas and was only about half an hour out of Springdale. Set the GPS for Matt’s Offroad Recovery and we were on our way. There looked to be a meet and greet out the front with quite a few people lining up but we just wanted to see where it was. I saw Lizzy drive out as well as the Morrvair but Dave was driving and didn’t see it.

      Back on the road Hoover Dam bound this time. First it was a stint on the crazy interstate but we survived. Driving into Hoover Dam you have to go through a security checkpoint where you need to wind all your windows down for the security officer to look into your car and you answer questions about firearms and drones. We got through this and it was time to explore.

      From our last visit back in 2017, Lake Mead has lowered substantially as the states around it have been in continuous drought and there hasn’t been much run off from snow falls.

      It was back on the road again through Boulder City and then Henderson before hitting the crazy interstate again to get into Vegas. If we didn’t have to go through hair-raising traffic at the beginning and end of our road trip, it would be the perfect experience.

      We made it to the rental car drop off without any incidents. We worked out that have driven and explored 3023kms of this amazing country in 21 days and we have loved every minute of our road tripping.

      We sat at the car rental hub until Kenzie made her way over to us. Her flight was a little delayed as they had to circle for a while waiting for a time to land but it wasn’t by too much.

      Ordered an Uber, had to be an extra large one as we have quite a bit of luggage and he turned up within 5 mins and we were on our way to The Cromwell.

      Unpacked and it was time to explore the Strip and have dinner.      Read more

      Deutsches Brot, Zion und Snow

      April 14, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

      Nach einem leider nicht so reichhaltigen Frühstück ging unsere Reise heute weiter zum Zion NP.
      Auf dem Weg dahin hielten wir aber noch bei einer deutschen Bäckerei an, in der wir richtig leckere Brötchen, ein Nussbrot, eine Mohnschnecke und eine Apfeltasche gekauft haben. Stine konnte ihr Glück kaum fassen und freute sich im Zion auf ein zweites Frühstück.

      Am Parkeingang angekommen mussten wir erstmal anstehen. Der Grund lag auf der Hand, auch in Amerika war heute Karfreitag und somit Feiertag.
      Im Park angekommen staunten wir wieder einmal über die Vielfalt dieses Landes. Der Park war wirklich wunderschön, allerdings trübten die vielen Autos das Ganze drumherum. Wir suchten fast eine Stunde nach einem Parkplatz, so dass uns ein Shuttle ins Zentrum des NPs fahren konnte, aber das konnten wir heute vergessen. Letztendlich besuchten wir nur einen Aussichtspunkt und fuhren weiter zu unserem Hotel, welches ca. 40 min vom Park entfernt war.
      Unterwegs haben wir gelesen, dass die Parkplätze normalerweise zwischen 10 und 15 Uhr belegt sind, aber wir haben uns bereits in unserem USA Buch eine Alternative herausgesucht.
      Der Snow Canyon State Park war ein wirklich schöner, nicht so viel besuchter Park. Wir wanderten ca. 2 Stunden und genossen die Ruhe. Lediglich eine handvoll Menschen kreuzte unseren Weg.
      Zurück im Hotel genossen wir unser deutsches Nussbrot zum Abendbrot und man merkte, wie uns unser deutsches Brot fehlte. Vom Brot blieb leider nichts übrig.

      Morgen probieren wir es dann nochmal mit dem Zion, da wir dort unbedingt unsere geplante Wanderung machen wollen.      Read more

      Near Travelodge.

      The hgh altitude and arid climate had a surprising effect when I got of the motel
      shower. It felt like moisture was sucked away from my skin. I only needed a towel to dry between my toes.Read more

      Hurricane

      February 18, 2020 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

      Keine Sorge, so heißt nur die Stadt in der ich heute übernachte.

      Meine Erkältung hat mich jetzt richtig erwischt, geh jetzt etwas früher ins Bett, damit ich für den Zion National Park morgen fit bin 🤧🥴

      Das Hotel hier ist nicht nur das bisher günstigste meiner Reise, nein auch das schönste, sauberste und neuste 🤷‍♂️ Whirlpool und Pool wären auch da - aber es ist doch etwas kalt.

      Und da ich durch meine ganzen Buchungen bei Booking.com jetzt Genius Level 2 Mitglied bin hab ich noch ein Zimmerupgrade bekommen, mit Balkon, größerem Bett und Fenster zum Innenhof und nicht zur Straße ☺️

      Also dann mal Gute Nacht 😴      Read more

      Arrived at Hurricane Cliffs

      May 18, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Found a beautiful Campground after driving to 4 different US States in one Day. It is a boondocking Campground without any amenities but a great nature to explore.
