There is a tunnel constructed in 1930 which takes about 2 minutes to drive through, with no lights, ventilation, it has 6 large windows cut out where you can briefly glimpse the reddish Navajo sandstone cliffs, as you carefully proceed. It is cleared in each direction and approx 10 cars go through at a time - it seems they didn't factor in RVs and big rigs 80 years ago! BTW the tunnel fee is steep $15 (even after your national park fee) - they must be saving up to widen it.
After securing a spot at the RV camp we boarded the shuttle and travelled the full 10k to the end of the Zion Canyon to start the light hike to The Narrows.
The Narrows.
Our campground (another cheeky last minute booking) was in an amazing spot, surrounded by mountains, by the Virgin river and with a great pool.
And then we head off the Bryce Canyon - just up the road.
