Aug 22 - Bryce Canyon National Park UT

What can I say about today?  It’s all about scenery!!!

First just a lovely drive south on the 89 (which parallels I-15) with little traffic.  We were going to go south to Zion National Park but at one point found that we were 23 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park and it would have been insane to miss that opportunity.

We turned onto “Scenic Hwy 12” and almost immediately went into Red Canyon which was so spectacular we stopped at every vista stop and there’s one every 2 minutes on the road.  Unbelievable red rocks; it just blows your mind.






Then we went through Bryce Canyon which was phenomenal!  Can you tell I’m running out of superlatives!! There just isn’t any explanation of Bryce Canyon and even the photos don’t do it justice.  




We decided to stay just outside the gates to the park for the night as there is a little village here called Bryce Canyon City which, of course, is a tourist mecca but we had enough and didn’t want to drive further today.
