Celebrate US National Parks on Independence Day!

Ahh Yosemite! The park that I grew up with and adore.

The best travel bargain is the yearly pass to the National Park system. I bought my pass June 2014 for $80. I used it for 3 days in Yosemite ($20 a day per car = $60), then I used it in Zion (+$20) and then Grand Canyon (+$20). So I ended ahead. I ended ahead from day one, because it is a bargain to have access to such beauty in nature for just $20 a day.

Red steep canyon walls are the backdrop pretty much everywhere along the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive.

So get off the couch or pool lounge chair and grab your car keys.

The sunrise illuminates an already gorgeous canyon to new heights of breathtaking.
