We drove through the mile-long tunnel, painstakingly constructed in 1936, that separates the east and west sides of the
park, and Ray got a good shot out the window through one of the old knock-outs that provided air for the workmen. We
eventually parked at the museum close to the west entrance and hopped the shuttle for a ride up canyon. It was getting late
and we wanted to be back in time for happy hour, and a sunset shoot at ZMR. Zion National Park consists of one road,
Route 9, a major artery connecting St. George on the west with Carmel Junction on the east, and Canyon Vista Drive,
aka, The Floor Of The Valley Road, which is a 9-mile offshoot that runs up the canyon and stops at The Narrows. Shuttle
buses run up and down the drive throughout the season. There are 8 stops along the Virgin River, but we only had time
for one. We stayed on the bus until the very end, The Temple of Sinawava.
