Finding Daniel the first time you play the DLC is almost as challenging. It's a phenomenal piece of engineering, costing over $500,000 back in the 1920s, and was at the time the longest non-urban tunnel in the USA, blasted through the solid rock of Pine Creek Canyon.ĭriving through it is an amazing experience, with holes every few hundred metres letting in sunlight from the canyon.Īmong the park's breathtaking sights, the easiest to match with a game location is the Narrows, where the kindly but misguided Daniel leads his Sorrows tribespeople.Ĭarved out by a specific combo of silt and water flow, this scene is the start of a nine mile overnight hike IRL. Now here's the Pine Creek Tunnel, in reality part of the Zion - Mt Carmel Highway on Utah 9. (And my sense of direction is about as useful as a empty Jet Inhaler anyway.) I assume there are real fishing lodges elsewhere in the park - with fewer roads to navigate by and less time to do it in, my orientation IRL wasn't as good as my main-game Fallout tour. The closest thing I could find to Zion Fishing Lodge is the modern Zion Lodge, a rebuilt (and surprisingly classy) wooden hostelry that incidentally does a great bison burger. (I chose not to test whether the poisonous aftereffects were the same too, and not just because picking plants in the park is an offence.) The bitter flowers exist in real life, in somewhat larger clusters of green leaves and white flowers.
Hollow logs usually have a goodie or two inside them the same chalky-white dead trees are found all over the park IRL. Hollow logs are more than just dead wood.įirst up are a couple of items of scenery. Here are a few snaps of this impromptu second playthrough. A holiday this month took me to the American Southwest, and I managed a day at Zion National Park - the setting for DLC Honest Hearts. No matter how hard I try, my Fallout: New Vegas Tour never seems to end.
