Day 15



Today picked up our bag lunch at the host hotel @ 7:45 am and headed out for Cedar Breaks National Monument, 130 mile tour. We encountered the highest elevations on the tour, 11,333 ft. The pictures will again tell more than we can write. There are so many beautiful sights to see here in the Kanab area. The most challenging drive of the day was the climb to the top of Brian Head Peak, the sign has 11,307 ft, but the road went higher after the sign. Here on top of the mountain it felt like you were on top of the world. At 6:00 pm there is a Pioneer Days Parade here in Kanab. It will go right by our motel, then there is a picnic for everyone in the park.

quite the hill climb
It must have been quite a climb to the top. When we did Estes Park - Trail Ridge - we were up over 12,000 feet and it was quite the climb - low pedal all the way and very hard on the T. Nice pictures. Some did not download all the way? Point Supreme & Brian Head. Hope it isn't too hot out there. Thanks for keeping us informed - having a good time following you along the way. Have a good day?
