Wednesday, May 16, 2012 We arrived at Brice National Park about 3 PM on Tuesday. We had a little mishap because we set up at the wrong campsite (North Campsite) and had to move and set up again. It was OK because Debi and have become pros at setting up (15min). We decided to do a quick look at the rim view sites. It is hard to believe it is real because the shapes and colors are out of this world. Thousands of Hoodoos from white to red in every canyon look like soldiers lined up for battle. On Wednesday morning we got up early and arrived at Sunrise Viewpoint at 6:30 AM just as the sun was rising. We hiked among, below and above the limestone formations for 6 hours (Queen Trail to Peek-a-boo to ... read more

We heard rain all night and hoped it would be gone by the time we started our day..Not! Our friend Tony also had developed back problems so no Motorcycle trips today.

Despite the weather, we had a terrific day with our good friends from CA.... read more

Vi har i sandhed haft en dag med kontraster. Fra store stilrene bygninger i Salt Lake City til betagende hoodooer i Bryce Canyon. Vi sov på et dejligt hotel midt i Salt Lake City, hvor børnene nød at se lidt Disney Channel , og vi alle fik os kølet af i swimmingpoolen. Efter morgen maden gik vi op til Salt Lake Citys store attraktion Temple Square, der er mormonernes hovedkvarter. Halvdelen af Utahs befolkning er mormoner, der tror på Jesus efter sin død besøgte Amerika. Et curiosum var, at vi i Build-a-Bear butikken fandt et sæt missionær tøj (jakkesæt) med Mormons bog! Mormonerne byder alle velkomne til at se (næsten) alle deres bygninger. På tempelpladsen vrimlede det med mormoner i jakkesæt og lange kjoler. Det var ikke svært at se vi ikke hørte til. Hjælpsomme missionærer ... read more
