In Virgin

The town was named for The Virgin River, that flows through it. I've got no idea how the river got its name. We drove over 2 mountain passes today, both around 8000 feet. The MP struggled some. At one point I was going 35 mph under the speed limit. We have become what used to be a source of dread (the RV up ahead towing a car driven by some old guy) At least we were moving. Tomorrow we do a hike I've always wanted to do in Zion named Angels Landing. I want to do a backpack in a few days. We went to the back country desk and the ranger told us we would have to come in early on Monday to try & get a permit. Say what? This pic was taken behind the RV park in Virgin. The river is the towns namesake.
