USA – Road Trip – Hoover Dam / Lake Mead – 20th October
We journeyed from Vegas in our Jeep (another upgrade from a compact!) to The Hoover Dam and booked ourselves onto a half-hour tour. It costs $8 for visitor centre admission and an extra $3 gets you on a tour, so we figured we may as well do the tour!
We eventually arrived in Zion at our time 7pm but mountain time 8pm, we hadn’t realised the clocks had gone forward an hour. The campsites were full in the National Park and we were informed by the friendly ranger at the south entrance that we’d have to be at the park campgrounds early the next day to get a spot, 8am early!! So we went back into Springdale and found a campsite located as part of the Quality Inn. They had sites for $32 so we took this with the intention of getting into the park early the next day. We were back in our little tent again! The first time in nearly 2 weeks and there we cooked a great camping meal on our one wok stove!
