It would have been good to have spent an extra day in Zion National Park, but if we did that for all the places we visited, i think we would be travelling until Christmas! We can't always have things go our way! The drive was not that far from Zion to Bryce so we explored a bit of Zion before we left. It was not the best of weather, but at least it was not raining. We managed to see the Court of the Patriachs which is 3 large rocks named Abraham; Jacod and Isaac. And then, on the way out of the park, we stopped for a short walk for an overlook of the Canyon. At least we got a glimpse of the beauty of Zion. Before we reached Bryce Canyon we drove through Red ... read more

I was able to go to Bryce Canyon when I was onshored in Salt Lake last year. Me and my office mates woke up early in the morning.. around 5AM and we were on the road to Bryce by 6AM. It was a good thing that one of my office mate knows his way around Utah so we were able to get to Bryce without getting lost on the road.. We passed through the scenic road.. seeing red canyon and all the amazing rock formations.. We stopped near red canyon to take pictures and to rest for a while after the long drive.. one of my friend.. the one driving the car, got something at the trunk of the car and then he suddenly blurted out that he accidentally left the car key in the trunk.. ... read more

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 night’s sleep, Sophie nuzzled me at the break of dawn to go out. I realized that Sunrise Point was calling, but I was still at the Pillow View Point…I roused myself out of the sleeping bag a couple of hours later, and spent a few minutes with my morning routing, stolen from my friend, J.T., which consists of reading for a while in the tent (I’m almost through with my “Mountain Climbing Disaster” book). For breakfast, in keeping with my “stepping up the culinary food,” I sliced whole potatoes and fried them in olive oil, simultaneously making coffee and cooking the remaining 4 veggie burgers (two for the hash browns, ... read more

le 9 août, visite de Bryce Canyon, nous laissons le RV sur le parking du campground et utilisons la navette qui dessert les points centraux du parc. Nous emportons 3 gallons de water et un picnic dans nos sacs à dos. Nous faisons une super randonnée. Les paysages sont délirants. Erosion de fin du monde. pas mal de monde sur les sentiers une fois éloignés de la route mais encore des français à gogo. Un américain pieds nus. Nos voisins de camping belges. Un oiseau bleu style geai pas farouche, des écureuils familiers. pique nique, croquis. Le soleil tape dur pendant la fin de la randonnée. Nous terminons par Wall Street, un boyau entre des gratte-ciel de pierre. La foule. Nathalie fait un peu de rab pendant que je fais un deuxième croquis et nous la ... read more
