We left Zion at 8:30 this morning. The drive to Bryce was scenic and easy, except for a few miles of tight switchbacks. We went thru the Zion tunnel which is over a mile long and was built in the 1930s.
Bryce is unbelievably gorgeous and unique. You will not see anything like this in the world. This is my second trip to Bryce and I still say it is the most jaw-dropping beautiful park I’ve been to. If you haven’t been to Bryce, you just absolutely have to go…and do this when you’re young and able to hike the magnificent trails.
We explored all the view points. It was cold and windy and there were snow patches on the ground. We weren’t able to hike for lack of time, though Dek went partway down the Navajo trail…this trail brings you down the canyons. For lunch we had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, vienna sausage, mandarin orange, Lindt chocolate, and chips. We were too late for the lunch hour at the lodge and the restaurant was closed.
We’re staying at Best Western Ruby’s Inn which seems to be the most well-known inn in this area. It has it’s own restaurant, grocery store, and gift shop. I hope we get some decent food for dinner tonight.
We took hundreds of pictures and video, but I’m having a hard time uploading the pictures. Internet connection is slooooowww.
It’s just the 4th day of our vacation and we’re TIRED but enjoying ourselves! I guess we’re not as young as we thought. We’ll sleep in tomorrow before leaving for Capitol Reef.
