Bryce... and the Canyonlands of Utah

After the three hour drive from Zion, we were greeted in Bryce Canyon by an aftenoon shower. And then it broke for just a couple of hours, so we ran off to see what we could see. All I can say is that the natural beauty on this trip has been staggering.  And hopefully the pics will speak for themselves, as I can't even begin to describe it.  The different colors of rock in the formations, the hoodoos, it was all spectacular.  And the drive across the Utah canyonlands today on scenic Route 12 may be the most spectacular drive I've ever been on. If it's not rated one of the top three in the country, I hope it soon will be!

I've pretty much decided to take VanGo back to Annapolis instead of storing her out west til winter.  (Then I'll be able to take her to the October "Sisters on the Fly" event in the Blue Ridge mountains, as well as any other fall trips that might be fun).   So I kept on driving east today, and hope to meet up with another Roadtrekker in Grand Junction, CO, tomorrow.
