After Death Valley we wanted to go on to Utah. But like so many, we also wanted to make a short detour to Las Vegas. We had actually planned to spend a night there, but finally decided against it in the city and drove on later.

In the end, it went from Zion National Park to a fairly high plateau, which also caused the temperatures to drop sharply. From there we finally had snowstorms all the way to Green River and I was a bit worried about the road conditions.
