My buddy and I just finished a 2000 mile road trip around the Grand Canyon. We hit most of the national parks along the way. Zion was the best. If you are...

Tom - We may be talking about two different things here, but are you claiming that the Ponderosa owns all of the land bordering that part of the park (East...
