Bryce Canyon is just over 100 miles from Capitol Reef. We chose to take State Highway 12 from Capitol Reef to Bryce. That entire distance could also be a national park; absolutely breathtaking the whole way.
Like Glacier National Park, Bryce has it's own (free) shuttle busses. Since we had been on the road most of the day, we were ready to sit on the bus. We got off three (of the four) locations to take pictures.
Bryce Canyon has been described as one of the
world's geologic masterpieces. This picture shows
examples pf pinnacles and spires and eroded stone
that stand as natural made statues.
Some of the areas like this are described as an
an ampitheater.
It seemed everywhere we looked there was a
different and beatiful geologic formation.
As we got off the shuttle bus to take pictures,
they reminded us to take it easy since we were
at 8000 feet.
So it's 8:40 p.m. and time to get some rest.
It has been another awesome day. Tomorrow we
plan to go to Zion National Park and then we will
see if we have the energy to see the North Rim of
the Grand Canyon before we head for Las Vegas.
We were saying today you could spend your whole
life traveling around the country and only see a
small part. We are greatful to be able to see what
we've seen.
Good night,
The Travelers
