Bryce - WOW

People have told us that they enjoyed Bryce National Park more than the Grand Canyon.  Well, come on, compared to the Grand Canyon? Yes, we concur - it was pretty great. We took Utah State road 14 out of Cedar City, very steep, mud slides, rock on road and lots, lots, lots of snow. Beauty!

 Since we arrived before noon, the light for pictures was fantastic, as was the weather! Lucky! Every 'stop' for a named viewpoint was very different from the one before it, so we enjoyed it all.

One the way to Bryce is Red Canyon, which had even redder ( is that a word?) stone formations, and two that you drive through - cool!
We are still reading fellow bloggers that have posted of cold weather further north.... are we heading home too early? Probably..... come on spring...... Bayfield Al has talked about how he looks forward to heading back to the southwest almost as soon as he gets home.  We are doing the same thing, and we haven't even left - deciding on what to see and experience next winter, what roads to take.  Maybe we're trying to evade all the " to do" things when we get back to B.C.
