We set out from our home in Trout Creek, MT, on February 17th, and drove to Mapleton, UT (near Salt Lake City.) In the morning we got back on the road and drove and drove till we reached Bryce Canyon National Park. We spent about three hours there - I took lots of pictures, so here are some of them! :)
South of Dillon on I-15. (I wouldn't remember such details, but Edwin does!)
Not the greatest quality picture, but I liked how we could see the road stretching out in front of us!
This is early morning right before we left Mapleton, Utah. See the moon?
A view from the road - Edwin says south of Mapleton about an hour. :)
Southern Utah - nearing Bryce Canyon!
Almost to Bryce! I like the way this picture has a kind of frame, with
the interior of the van on one side and a blurry foreground at the
bottom/right, sort of bringing out the clear focus of the center.
The view from the first "scenic look out" we came to. This was called "Natural Bridge".
Same place as above. See the rock on the pedestal?!
From another vantage point.
Everyone except Dad and the little girls hiked along the rim of the canyon from one point to another. This was taken along the way. If I remember right we hiked around a mile.
The view was breath-taking!
All the "things" sticking up are called hoo-doos.
Along the way, we met some hikers from Germany, and I asked one of them if she would take a picture of us. BUT, when she went to take the picture, my battery went out! A friend of hers suggested putting my SD card into her camera, taking the picture, then giving my SD card back! I would never have thought of that, but am so thankful he did!
We spent some time in the gift shop, and bought a few things - a couple magnets, etc. I bought myself a brown cap with pictures of Zion, Bryce, and Arches on the front (all Utah parks).
After we left Bryce, we headed south to Prescott, where Grammom lives. We arrived about quarter till 10 pm. She was very excited to see us! (And of course we were excited to see her too!)
That's all for now, but more will come!
Blessings,
