MY HUSBAND and I really enjoyed your article about Zion National Park ["Park It . . . Then Park It," July 3]. We visited the park in 2000 on a loop of the Southwest national parks, joined by a German cousin who had dreamed of this for years. We thought the shuttle at Zion was a great idea and so did all our fellow passengers. The night at the lodge was immensely peaceful, except for being woken up by a skunk in the morning. I'm glad the shuttle has worked out so well.

EXACTLY A YEAR ago, I stayed at Zion Lodge. I encountered no hassles in driving back and forth from the lodge to the Canyon Overlook on Route 9. I also used the shuttle to go deeper into the canyon.

Besides being a better place to stay than a generic motel, the scenery is marvelous, as the article indicated. I've stayed at the lodge multiple times since my first visit in 1989 and will try to when I go there the next time. Being able to bring my car into the park is a big plus so that I can drive to favorite spots like the Canyon Overlook trailhead (I can't remember if the shuttle goes there or not).
