Day 2 - Road Trip Begins

Thursday 5th May


We were slower out the door than we would have liked as we headed off on our road trip. It was a great opportunity for Hayden to get a feel for driving in America without inner city pressure.
We were heading south – south-east for Kanab. We stopped at Filmore for lunch at a rest stop and then again at Cove Fort for a look:

This place was built entirely of lava found in the area by President Hinkley’s ancestors. It was a refuge for travellers amidst the wars that were happening with and between the native American Indians.




We headed further south to Cedar City before heading East past Cedar Breaks National Monument. It was snowing at the summit and the scenery was beautiful. 


We finally arrived in Kanab at the Holiday inn Express. We headed out for some authentic Mexican for dinner, turned out it was some kind of special holiday and they had a jumping castle at the restaurant that Toby loved.
