Bryce Canyon National Park

Up at 7:30 and on the road by 9:00 we are headed in the direction of Bryce Canyon. It's supposed to be a hot one today getting up around 31 Celsius. 

We went first into Panguitch to fuel up and get a few groceries before heading to our next camp spot. I also manage to get some stuff for my sewing room at home. 

You start your drive by going through Red Canyon which is amazing.



We have set up camp at Bryce Canyon Pines Campground.  It's about 6 miles from the park entrance and we hope to stay here for a couple of nights while we visit the canyon.  

Breathtaking doesn't even come close to describing this part of the country. It's absolutely a picture right out of National Geographics. We drive to the furthermost point and then make our way back, stopping at the overlooks along the way.


These are the Bristlecone Pine trees that were not able to survive in this harsh environment

I swear this raven followed us through the whole park.

Some interesting formations zoomed in on....

And then zoomed out......see, right in the middle.

This is the Natural Bridge.

See! Here he is again....



This is the view from Bryce Point.

We will definitely spend another day here but it's getting late and dinner is calling out to us. 


I think this our second real fire.

Another end to a another perfect day.
