My humble L.A accommodations tks to Ruggerr (on the right). La Crescenta is paradise next to the rest of L.A. And John was not just a super down to earth host but a good friend and mentor.

Out of over a dozen plus national parks I visited on this trip I have to say without a doubt that Zion was by far the most memorable. The shots I got while in the park aren't that impressive and really don't do it's justice, a helmet cam and some well edited HD video would have been better. At the end of the day I don't think anything beats just being there yourself! Riding into Zion is something I'll remember till the day I die.
