Bryce Canyon National Park



Today we went to Bryce Canyon National Park. It sure is pretty over there, but the canyons are REALLY deep and REALLY red.

It was very warm, so Dad found this little back road and we went WAY UP into the mountains and Mom took a lot of pictures of the fall colors. It took us a couple of hours to get up there, and then we had to turn around to come back. The GPS said we could keep going down hill, but Dad wasn't too sure about the road.  Oh, and we had a picnic lunch up there too.  See that little white spot on the horizon of the photo at the right?  Those are cliffs and we were right next to them.  That's were Dad took us!

We were WAY up on top of this!

Today we went to Zion National Park.  Mom was real disappointed because they were doing road work and all the pull outs had equipment in them, so she had to take all the pictures from the truck.  Dad found another one of his famous back roads and we went into the high country again.  I got to see cowboys herding SHEEP.  Dad said some dogs make a living doing that.  The only dog I saw was on the back of an ATV - now that looks like FUN!  Mom took more pictures of the colorful trees in the high country and we had another picnic lunch up where it was cool.  We also saw wild turkeys - what funny looking birds - and they play follow the leader!  I bet if one of them jumped off a cliff - the rest would follow!

WHEW - housework is
HARD WORK!



 Mom and Dad did house work today, so I just rested up.  Man, they cleaned EVERYTHING - the trailer, the laundry, the truck and they even got to my ears!  Dad even gave me a pedicure and brushed me too.  Sure glad I have short hair - the dog next door had to have a bath!  He had very long hair and had to be dried with a blow dryer and brushed at the same time - didn't look like any fun to me! 

We will be moving on Monday so not sure if I (Mom) will get time to write much.  We aren't going very far because we are going to go North, (to find cooler weather) and will have to come back South to go to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon - Dad got us reservations (finally) for October 4th through the 8th.

We moved to another camp site today - it's a Utah State Park under construction, but its OK for the night.  They have a petrified forest here.  On the way here we went through the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.  Boy, is there ever a lot of ROCK in this country! 


ROCK!  As far as the eye can see.....Escalante National Monument

 I also got to see my first cattle drive - those guys are sure BIG, and NOISY.  I don't think they liked being moved along the highway.


Cattle Drive!

  Mom said she will add more photos later - she is having trouble with the Internet connection - also she said she will work on that map.

Until later......

OK, Mom added the photos, but will work on the map later.  We are at Ruby's Inn Camp Ground at the entrance to Bryce Nation Park (again).  We are going to stay one night and head south tomorrow and maybe try to get some better pictures at Zion Nation Park.  After a few days there, we are heading South because Dad got us reservations at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon from October 4th through October 8th.

Keep posting those comments - we love hearing from you.....
