May 14 - Bryce Canyon

Not sure if these places are meant to compete with each other, but Bryce Canyon is right up there with The Arches. Out of this world is an understatement.  Breathtaking views with magnificent colours.  Bryce Canyon is a must see for anyone travelling in the Utah/Arizona area.  Similar to yesterday, you can do your own tour at your own speed.  Lots of incredible photo opportunities and as much hiking as you like.

We had a funny incident (at least we thought it was funny)  Standing beside a middle age lady, and with a straight face Bill enquired as to how long it took them to do this work.  The lady stared at Bill in total disbelief and walked away. We think she thought there would be no place to begin to answer his question. Twenty years from now she will be telling her grandchildren about the idiot she met at the Bryce Canyon.

From Bryce Canyon we travelled south and east crossing the San Francisco mountains at almost 8000 feet, before descending into the Colorado River Canyon and our final 30 miles to the south rim of the Grand Canyon tomorrow.

Here are some photos from  Bryce Canyon

  1. Incredible photos, Bob and Daddy, of a place I have actually been, but did not have the luxury of stopping and photographing. It is very, very beautiful, serene and other worldly...

    Chris, myself, Stephen, Rachel and Reilly, had the privilege of driving slowly through Bryce Canyon on our return from Las Vegas to Mesa, when we visited with Mom and Dad at Easter in 1997, 1998 or 1999 (can't exactly remember the year, but I am absolutely certain Dad does).

    Dad had loaned us his Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale, which was later to become mine, so we could head out as a family to see Las Vagas and other treats, such as Hoover Dam, Bryce Canyon and Sedona, along our way...

    It was wonderful ~ reading your blog and seeing your photos just brings it all to life again...

    Hugs
