Kanab, Utah to Escalante, UtahWe spent most of the day at Bryce Canyon National Park. We had a few other stops planned, but ran out of time because we enjoyed Bryce Canyon so much. The picture above is from a waterfall along the Mossy Cave Trail.
I was very concerned that Bryce Canyon would be packed since it's a holiday and Zion was crazy Sunday. Thankfully, that was not the case.
Hannah wanted her picture with Smokey the Bear.
Natural Bridge, although it's not technically a bridge, it's an arch. A bridge is formed by a river where as an arch is not (that's the simplified explanation of the difference).
The rock formations that litter this park are called hoodoos. This one is Thor's Hammer.
I actually knew prairie dogs can carry bubonic plague. They were super cute, though!
Mossy Cave Trail
I fed my waterfall addiction today. I'm pretty sure this is the first desert waterfall I've seen. It was nice because you could walk behind it. It would have been cooler if it had been natural (this "ditch" was dug by settlers), but it was still nice. And the trail was actually shaded a bit, so that was nice. I'm not a fan of desert hiking! Although, the weather was beautiful today... low 80s most of the day.
Mossy Cave. It was really more of an alcove than a cave, but it was still a nice unique location. Other Mossy Cave pictures can be found in my
Zion & Bryce Canyon album.
So far, we have driven 5,600 miles on this trip. We have been to 10 National Parks, 4 additional historic sites, 1 presidential library and been through 13 states.
