Driving from LeeVining to Zion
Hi,
we are visiting USA this June and are planning to drive from Lee Vining to Zion lodge.
Wanted some advice on the best route.I am assuming it would be about 8~9 hours drive.
Unsure about which roads to take.
Your help would be really appreciated. many thanks

We've had to make this drive a couple of times, in reverse. It is long and pretty boring, so make sure you have an audiobook or something to listen to.
From Lee Vining, take Hwy. 120 into Nevada, then Hwy. 6 through Tonopah to Warm Springs. Head southeast on Hwy. 375 to Ash Springs, east on 93 through Caliente to Panaca, then east on 319 into Utah. 319 changes to Hwy. 56.
My inlaws lived in Cedar City, so that was our starting point. From there it's about 90 minutes to Zion.

Make sure you fill the gas tank in downtown Tonopah. Rt. 375 is also known as the "extraterestrial highway". There is no gas in Rachel. I remember that gas was quite expensive in Lee Vining the last time I was there.
