GeoMoto 0 Posted August 3, 2011 www.zionponderosa.com "a geomoto enterprise" haha- jk... Always appreciate the local knowledge. When it cools down, I would LOVE to make it out there Ha, Ya I wish! I would love to have 4000 acre ranch and not have to deal with California govt anymore. Not so lucky though! Temps are much cooler at the Ranch then in St George and I fell in love with the place. For $10 a night you can't beat it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mistress of the dual 1 Posted August 3, 2011 Some friends of ours from Denmark are riding around the US on a couple of DRZs. They are doing a live ride report on Adventure Rider. They just posted this a couple of days ago: Next stop was Zion National park. we could not find a camp site near the park.. but looking online we found that we could camp for the same price as in the park at Zion ponderosa resort.. 20 dollars a night including pool, towels and tons more stuff. NICE Do you see our tent? Not the worst place! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
