Virgin River Gorge Tours

I took this photo at the Virgin River Gorge. In northwest Arizona, USA. This is right off of highway Interstate 15. I was on my way to Zion National Park in Utah when we came upon the Virgin River Gorge. And to tell the truth, when looking through my photos, I didn't even know what it was. I had to do some research later on to find out. And more information: Virgin River Gorge is a long canyon that has been carved out by the Virgin River in northwest Arizona. The Virgin River rises on the Colorado Plateau and created the topography of both Zion National Park and the Virgin River Gorge. The Gorge connects the southwestern rim of the Colorado Plateau and the northeastern part of the Mojave Desert. Interstate 15 runs through the canyon and crosses the Virgin River several times. The Virgin River Gorge section of Interstate 15 is one of the most expensive parts of interstate highway ever constructed. Due to the winding of the canyon, the highway within is also noted for its tricky driving conditions.

It was very quiet there all night long. We even slept in some. The cabin is small, with not much privacy, so partners, husbands & wives would do best. The cabin was very clean with a western look, which was nice. Can't remember man's name, but he was very friendly and accommodating. Trust Google maps to get you there! It was surprising to go from Utah to Arizona and back when we went to the grocery store! These cabins seem to be new, and they are just getting the word out for rentals. It was very reasonable, and yes, we would stay there again.
