    Dec 23 2025

In this episode of Anderson Overland, we spend an offseason weekend exploring Zion National Park when the roads are empty, the mornings are cold, and the canyon walls feel even bigger. We also step back in time at Grafton Ghost Town, wandering through its preserved buildings and imagining life in southern Utah long before the crowds arrived. It’s a slower, more reflective journey—red rock, history, and stillness—experienced the way Zion was meant to be seen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
