But here at Park City Utah biking is more than fun. I am talking about the enchanting scenario while watching energetic cyclists trailing the mountain side. As our locals are always looking forward to we have a lot of exciting events every year as well a couple of cycling events in the near future which famili http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/blog-790156.html From the Grand forested mountains and cool weather of Jackson Hole we headed to the hot red rock desert of Moab UT stopping for a short time along the way at the Great Salt Lake and Park City Utah...in the last blogThe change in landscape and weather was dramatic for us and the pooch daytime highs in Jackson were mid 6039s and daytime highs in Moab were mid 9039s with a hot direct sun http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Moab/blog-789659.html After the last couple of days of hanging from ropes and hanging on to chains we felt like we needed to take it slow and see what was around the next corner.It led us to Bryce Canyon National Park. For those of you who are thinking of visiting any parks in the near future let me mention this. On entering Zion National Park the other day we paid a 25 7 day park pass fee. Then when we went into http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-789109.html Working backwards but more photos published. Anybody with any ideas on doing anything differently or making this easier or adding or leaving stuff out please feel free to add a comment..... http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Manila/blog-788931.html More photographs. You can see how we ended up staying in the library downloading these for so long http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Hanksville/blog-788930.html The epic roads from Bryce Canyon to Hanksville and everything inbetween. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Hanksville/blog-788926.html Made it back into the library and am now downloading direct onto the blog. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-788923.html We managed to drag ourselves to the hotel shower and FALL into bed. Our plan was to get up when we got up and go into the Park and do some hiking. DaveDan was quick to offer his advice on what we should do not that we had conquered the repelling and were obviously talented at being let down into a crevace on a rope that had a tencil strength that we now know could have pulled the titanic out of http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Zion-National-Park/blog-788802.html We know you all have a certain expectation of what crazy thing are we going to do next or where we are going next so this year Anthony plan our vacation to a WARMER destination than our last years week in the back country of Montana where we wore all of our clothes the entire week to keep warm. After all we don39t want to let you down.So we headed to Utah Zion National Park and Bryce Canyo http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Zion-National-Park/blog-788793.html Left the Jackson Teton Yellowstone area and headed into Utah destined for Park City and Moab. In route we stopped to tour the Great Salt Lake via Antelope Island State Park. The Great Salt Lake is great and salty... but really its huge looks more like an ocean but is 7x more salty....why so salty you ask....many streams in rivers flow into the lake area but none flow out to the lake accumula http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Salt-Lake-City/blog-788725.html Tyre saga continues. The shop in Duchense failed to order a new tube so the guys there and Jim spent a good couple of hours patching and refitting the tyre and wheel. They charged 15 bucks for all of their labour and use of their tools and workshop.Paid up for the pickup rescue minimum charge of 145 and set off on our way again. Up the mountain 100 odd miles later tyre near flat again Sto http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Manila/blog-787320.html Back into civilisation again.Had a pleasant ride to Bryce National Park. Pitched tent and got straight out there. Yet more stunning stunning stuff. Unfortunately we39re not able to access a computer to upload any photos but will do so when we can. I don39t think I can even begin to describe the rock formation so won39t try. Weather pleasant but Bryce is quite high so very chilly at n http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Hanksville/blog-786873.html We got a slow start this morning but we enjoyed the easy pace. We ate a light breakfast and headed out for Bryce Canyon Nationl Park. To get there we had to drive through Zion NP and got to enjoy the the views again. We were not sure we wanted to go to another canyon park since we had seen so many and Bryce is only 90 miles from Zion. But we didn39t have anything else on the schedule so we pa http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-786559.html
