Zion Winter Questions
Hello friends and thanks in advance for the advice as usual.
We are heading to Zion (two adults, one 6 yr old, and two small dogs) in a 25 foot class C in late November of 2015. Driving from Los Angeles. We have reservations for Watchman. After doing some searching and research I still have a few questions I can't seek to get answered.
1. I see the shuttles stop running in November but for a few days around Thanksgiving allowing private vehicles to drive directly into the park. Does this mean that we will be able to drive our 25 foot class C into the park from Watchman?
2. If so, how is it to park and get around Zion to the various areas of interest? Usually we would ride bikes as we have done at places like Yosemite but it may be too cold for that in late November.
3. I have read a bit about the tunnel we will beed to go through with our over sized vehicle. Looks like it is only open from 8-4pm in the winter. Where exactly is this tunnel located in relation to where Watchman and the exact entrance to the park? Will we go through this tunnel before we even get to Watchman I assume? Where exactly is the office located to make advance arrangements at the entrance station? I assume just right at the entrance to the tunnel meaning we pull off and park and then walk into the entrance station?
4. Assuming we can drive from Watchman into Zion in our RV, will we have any problems with our two small dogs being with us in the RV?
Thanks again!
