Our short trip to Utah in autumn Oct 17,2020 – Oct 20, 2020.<\/p>\n

Oct 17: Left house around 8:00 AM, stopped by Las\u00a0 Vegas for lunch at Ph\u1edf S\u1ed1 1 and Bellagio for its beautiful garden: it’s Pumpkin time! Then headed to Comfort Inn in Hurricane Utah around 4:00 PM.\u00a0 Our dinner for tonight was Canh B\u00fan.<\/p>\n

Oct 18: Took the Cedar \/ Kolob loop to search for yellow leaves, but we were too late.\u00a0 First stop at Parowan Visitor Center but they closed on Sunday.\u00a0 Then continue on 143 for Yankee Meadows Reservoir;\u00a0 Then hwy 148 for Cedar breaks (but we did not go in) then turn to hwy 14 (cedar canyon) -> Left turn on Right Hand Canyon Rd which will become Kolob Rd.\u00a0 Only the first part of the Kolob Rd. is paved, the rest until it reaches the Kolob Reservoir is unpaved with lots of small gravels and dust! But it’s full of aspens!\u00a0 Too bad we were too late.\u00a0 Once we reach the Kolob Reservoir, the road is paved to hwy 9 (30 miles from here to Hurricane town but it’d take about 1 hr because there’s lots of curves and it goes thru the Kolob canyon and Zion canyon.\u00a0 Our dinner for tonight was B\u00e1nh Canh T\u00f4m Cua.<\/p>\n

Oct 19: Zion Park.\u00a0 We could not get the shuttle tickets so we took 2 hikes on Canyon Junction and Canyon Overlook (right after the tunnel). Canyon Junction with the view of the Watchman mountain in the background is beautiful; we found a little waterfall after crossing 2 bridges.\u00a0 The parking lot for the Canyon Overlook is really small (for about 20 cars) but we were lucky to get one after waiting for about 10 minutes.\u00a0 Otherwise one would have to park along the road and walk back to the trail head which is about 10 minutes walking.\u00a0 It’s easy trail with some parts have hand rails; and it’s beautiful along the way.\u00a0 William & I did not hike to the end because it was hot and he was tired; but we enjoyed the hike regardless.<\/p>\n

It was still early so we decided to go back to Kolob Reservoir because we saw some yellow leaves on the other side of the reservoir yesterday.\u00a0 To our disappointment, when we got there, we could not go in because it’s “Private property”.<\/p>\n

On the way back to the hotel, we got some Domino’s pizza and some wings for dinner.<\/p>\n

Oct 20: Checked out the hotel around 8:30 AM. Stopped Palazzo and Venetian and then Ph\u1edf S\u1ed1 1 for lunch then headed home.\u00a0 It was 5:00 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
