The forecast was for daytime temps in the 60s 40s at night. Pretty good camping weather. However when we arrived at Grand Canyon Natl Park it was only about 45 degrees and the campsites were all filled. Probably best all around as we were pretty done with cold nights.We hiked out to http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-445878.html Finalement nous avons rgl nos problmes d'ordi. et le magnifique voyage continu.

Unfortunately the others weren't back til nearly an hour later. Then people had to shower and we loaded up the car. Stopped for groceries and for Julia to get books from the library. Finally set out about 430 which was much later than I had hoped. However the drive went very smoothly. Even with no music. We had lots of good conversation and http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-438616.html Monday August 24 2009 Bryce Canyon Utah After blogging last night and getting the last pictures uploaded just before time ran out and getting a great nightrsquos sleep Sophie nuzzled me at the break of dawn to go out.

Da wir jeden Tag an einem anderen Ort sind und die Eindrcke in den jeweiligen Nationalparks umwerfend sind vergeht die Zeit wie im Flug. Gestern sind wir am Bryce Canyon gelandet unbeschreiblich. Monument Valley habe ich euch ja schon beschrieben. Von dort ging es dann nach Cortez mesa verde nationalpark zuerst fr die kids ein wenig langweilig. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-427074.html We left Las Vegas early morning heading NE on Interstate 15 leaving Nevada briefly crossing the upper corner of Arizona and arrived at Tropic in Utah where we were going to stay 3 nights.Tropic is literally in the middle of nowhere and would be one more rural place in Mormon Utah should Bryce Canyon not be at its door. It is an ideal place to stay for visiting the Park and has the extra benefit http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-426614.html August 3rd Bryce Canyon National Park UTWe got up pretty early and since we were staying right outside the park entrance we were able to take the park shuttle up into the park. Our plan was to do another hike today. I think the cowboy hat I bought was my best investment on the entire trip. It is so hot out and the hat does wonders to keep the sun off. I may continue be a cowgirl when I get homeB http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-426299.html Vi krte ind i Bryce Canyon et betagende syn med alle disse sandstens sjler der bare str der og s er der en udsigt langt ned i Arizona 160 km. Vi krte derefter mod Page. vi havde et stop undervejs ved den store dmning over colorado river 280 meter til bunden. Vi var nede ved Lake Powel som er bermt for sit bl vand.

Men vi var p bustur ind til bunden af dalen en masse lodrette klipper utroligt smukt. Vi fortsatte til Bryce Canyon hvor vi ikke vidste helt hvor hotellet var men ikke noget problem vi krte lige forbi. Vi nd en sandwich udenfor vi sad og nd udsigten til en kunstig bjergged me http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-425464.html Today we went for a short hike in Bryce. It was pretty good until it started raining but even then it wasn't too bad. The hoodoos the tall columnlike thingies in the pictures are even more impressive from below.In the second half of the way we went for a scenic drive on Highway 12 and I use the term highway very loosely to Boulder Utah the most remote town I've ever seen. It's been said http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-420876.html We got to Bryce Canyon National Park today. Apparently the fire there is still burning but it under control.On the way we stopped at Cedar Breaks National Monument trivia the President can declare a national monument but congress has to vote on national park status.Bryce is much higher than Zion about 3000m compared to 1000m and is much colder I actually wore my fleece jacket which I li http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-420499.html Hier dan het verslag van de tweede wandeltocht deze dag. Na de mossy cave trail zijn we met de auto het park in gereden. De auto hebben we geparkeerd bij sunrise point. Vanaf dit punt kun je beginnen met de queens garden trail. Dit hebben wij ook gedaan. Dit gaat meteen steil naar beneden en allerlei mooie uitzicht punten en vreemde rotsen. Hoe lager we komen des te groener het wordt. Vandaar de n http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-420134.html Zo vandaag weer vroeg op. Ja Maris vond het fijn om me om kwart voor acht wakker te maken. Dat is de tijd hier terwijl ik net gewend was aan de 1 uur tijd. Na lekker te hebben ontbeten zijn we gereden richting Bryce Canyon. Vanuit Tropic kom je dan langs de mossy cave trail. Aangezien we vandaag in totaal 243 foto's hebben gemaakt heb ik besloten om deze trail los te plaatsen van de andere die we http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-420128.html July 7thOff to Bryce canyon. The trip started out with desert but after a while the landscape changed and we found ourselves driving through canyons and Very nice views and a relief after the desert. We did at some time have a funny experience suddenly in the middle of nowhere there were hundreds of windmills on a hilltop quite impressive. We could began to see the red rocks that we have seen o http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-417988.html We left last night for Bryce Canyon. The drive took about 2 hours. What surprises me the most about Utah is how green South Utah is. When I thought of Utah I thought it would be desert. Parts of it are but a big portion of it is a national forest. Bryce Canyon is beautiful. It is full of multicolored rock foramtions. We took a three mile hike down into the canyon. We were able to hike th http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-416260.html Spent some time at Bryce Canyon today. Nice park. The park is known for its hodoos which you will see in the photos. The Navajo say that the cayote who is known as a trickster turned the people into stones. The park was full of pine trees and had great scents and the weather was great. Called it quits early today as I didn't stop until late last night. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-408945.html Another spectacular day. We started out early in the morning about 7 a.m. with a hike up the Emerald Pools trail in Zion and when I say up I mean up There are three sets of pools that are formed from runoff from the porous limestone cliffs and you climb like a mountain goat to all three of them. Our reward was being about the only hikers on the trail and then a serene breakfast at the top po http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Utah/Bryce-Canyon/blog-404445.html
