We have now visited Virgin River Recreation Area twice. The first time, in March, we needed a place for a bathroom stop on our way from Death Valley NP to Zion NP. From the web site Recreation.gov: "Virgin River Canyon Recreation Area is located along I-15 approximately 20 miles southwest of St. George, Utah and 20 miles east of Mesquite, Nevada. The recreation area has easy access to Interstate-15 from Cedar Pocket Exit (Mile Post 18). The Virgin River Canyon Recreation Area consists of campground and day-use area. Overnight use fee is $8 per site (up to 2 vehicles) and day-use fee is $2 per vehicle." We have often thought of this place in Nevada, but it is in the Northwest Corner of Arizona. (Lots of canyons and no cell service.) Each trip shows a different side of the plants and the river. First the one from March 2017: Muddy river in March! Not at all what we thought the virgin River would be. In July, we decided to stop to see the difference. We spent a nice time there and enjoyed watching the lizards. A totally different view! Take a look! Until next time, keep on trekking!
