When you do the train, they have a 3 or 4 hour layover before it departs, so you can't get around and see too much.<br /><br />Your adventures show us how much we missed, good excuse to go back soon!Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-38366643242711410412011-06-12T18:43:07.753-04:002011-06-12T18:43:07.753-04:00Gail & Rick: David's camera is a point/sh...Gail & Rick: David's camera is a point/shoot sort of. It's very small and takes great pictures IF you can see in the LCD screen and don't need a view finder. In the sunlight, I can't see a thing without my little eye piece. FYI his is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20.<br /><br />Karen & Al: Since we don't travel with pets I'm not SURE. But I didn't see any dogs on the buses. I did see dogs on all the trails along the rim. But, not in the ones going into the canyon though. They do allow pets in trailer village, the RV campground.<br />Hope that helps.<br /><br />Thanks all for the compliments on the blog and pictures.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-3214388049771208072011-06-12T18:25:17.707-04:002011-06-12T18:25:17.707-04:00Great Photos again!!

It is spectacular.<br /><br />They had just introduced the bus to Hermits Rest in 2000 when we visited. Now the entire system is in...fantastic. I think it improves the visit for everyone. Zion NP will only allow the busses, no cars, on its roads!!<br /><br />Like the bikes on the front of the bus. Need to get back there and take our bikes out and then ride them back......<br /><br />Keep having fun...we are enjoying our virtual visit:o))Nancy and Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923426994795610528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-38992608928709092162011-06-12T15:06:07.084-04:002011-06-12T15:06:07.084-04:00Colter's buildings really are fascinating.

If I may ask a question, you know we travel with our dogs; is the bus the only way around, are the dogs allowed on it, or, for that matter, are they even allowed on the hiking trails there? We've so far found that National Parks are very unfriendly to our canine pals.<br /><br />KarenAl and Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02991509802471213755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-53351041278014233072011-06-12T09:30:05.903-04:002011-06-12T09:30:05.903-04:00I think I need a zoom like David, but I want it on...I think I need a zoom like David, but I want it on my little point and shoot camera that fits in my back pocket :)<br /><br />Love the belt hat holder.
