The drive from Zion Park to the East Exit
We drove out of Zion Park via the East Exit for dinner and fuel in the evening. The drive was fantastic as it passed through some incredible scenery.
We saw many warnings about deer on the road, which were a serious risk. I have never seen so many deer on or near a highway, and we had a couple of close calls. So, we drove slow, and everyone in the car was deer spotting.
The ‘Great Arch’ was on the drive. These arches (there are a number of them around the park) are caused by water undercutting a lower soft layer of rock and then the upper harder layer ‘sloughing’ off.
