I checked out from Flamingo at 5am and drove again to Car Rental station to check for my desired vacation car. I was lucky. During the night one Jeep GC came back. A beautiful white one with the big V8 engine. I immediately took the car and gave back the Kia.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

My plan today was to start the round trip to Zion-Escalante-Moab-Page-Las Vegas. First Stop was St. George, Utah. It took me app. 2 hours to drive from Las Vegas to the trailhead, which is accesible through a steep unpaved road.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n

The hike was a small 6 mile roundtrip, down to a plateau where lots of photgenic sandstone should be present. It was an ideal hike to start and forget the flat tire desaster. I departed at 10 am and returned 2.30 pm.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\n

In the afternoon I drove to Zion N.P. My Anual Park Pass from 2012 was still valid and I selected a small hike which I did not knew yet, the Hidden Canyon Trail. Another 6 mile roundtrip.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_4_placeholder\n
