Mar 31 Beautiful Bryce Canyon

Since skiing had gotten crusty, we decided on a last minute whim to head to Southern Utah, specifically Bryce Canyon, with our mountain bikes in the car. Booked a room at the Stone Canyon Lodge in Tropic, UT, for the night and we planned to bike in Red Canyon the next day, April 1.

Unbelievable how beautiful southern Utah is! Away from the masses of SLC and out into the wilderness. Bryce Canyon was gorgeous! We arrived late afternoon and stayed until sunset - hiking down into the canyon floor past Thor's Hammer and feeling like we were hiking back millions of years. We're thinking next trip should be with an RV (see photo) so we can visit everyone of the Utah parks, especially Escalante.

Here are the some of the scenes from Bryce Canyon - too bad pictures can't capture the splendor.
