Trip to Yellowstone - Part 1

Here is what we have been up to during the first half of our trip to Yellowstone.

April 30 - Tonight is our last night in Casa Grande Ariz for the season. Starting our trip to Yellowstone National Park for our summer job. First stop is Seligman Ariz, on Route 66!

May 1 - We arrived in Seligman Ariz today. Walked around town to see the sites and gift shops. Had dinner at Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive In. Drove a few miles of the original Route 66 and read some Burma Shave signs!   http://www.seligmanazhistoricdistrict.com/

May 2 - We took a day trip to Oatman Ariz. Right on the Historic Route 66. What a beautiful drive from Kingman and a cute western town!  They have wild burros that live in the area and come into town walking wherever they want!  http://oatmangoldroad.org/

May 3 - Took a day trip to Lake Havasu City Ariz today! Walked under and drove over the London Bridge. (Remember "London Bridge is falling down"?) THE bridge is now in Arizona.   http://www.golakehavasu.com/

May 4 - The tour of the Hoover Dam was AWESOME. We walked over the new bridge and got the great view of the dam from there. We took the tour down inside, too. Don't miss a chance to see this if you are in the area. It is worth the time to see it.  http://www.usbr.gov/lc/hooverdam/

May 5 - We arrived in Cedar City Utah today. We will be here for about a week to use this as a take off place to see Zion and Bryce National Parks and many other local attractions. What a nice little city!   http://cedarcity.org/180/Cedar-Breaks-and-Other-National-Parks

May 6 - We visited the Kolob Canyons section of Zion National Park today.  https://www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/kolob-canyons.htm

May 6 - Today we visited the Frontier Homestead State Park in Cedar City Utah. It reminded me of Rock Ledge Ranch in Colo Spgs, CO.  http://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/frontier-homestead/

May 7 - The Lilacs and Iris' are blooming in Cedar City UT! Beautiful!  Drove to Old Iron Town west of here, drove around the city and found Sothern Utah University observatory too.
