Travel Blogging VI

Dateline: Bryce Canyon, Utah. The altitude here is about 7000 ft. and the weather has been very changeable. In one day we've seen rain, sun, overcast, snow, and sleet. Global warming has yet to arrive at this elevation. It is cold, going below freezing every night and not warming up much during the day. We could use better weather.

The little Utah towns that support this region have experienced recent growth. There are a lot of new buildings. My sense is that domestic tourism has held up reasonably well at both Zion and Bryce.

This scenery never tires, we've come back time and again over 30+ years. It is still wonderful and still worth another visit next year or whenever we can get back. The drive between Panguitch and here has some hoodoos that are so extreme you wouldn't believe them if you saw them at Disney Land or World. The phrase "you couldn't make this up" comes to mind.

Tomorrow we are headed over a 9000+ ft. pass to Capitol Reef National Park. I hope the road is clear and the weather fair. More later....
