Bryce Canyon Scenic Drive

At the top we found a picnic table and brought out our custom sandwiches and Pringles. We relaxed in the shade, ate our lunch, and recuperated from our hike. The rest of the time in the park was spent driving to the end of the road and stopping at all of the lookouts. It is neat to see how far the hoodoos extend down the edge of the mesa. We took even more hoodoo photos, most of which will never be printed because we have so many to choose from. Oh well...I guess that it a nice problem to have.

We left Bryce Canyon proper and started towards Capitol Reef. There was one last little hike to do; Mossy Cave. It was a cave with a weeping wall and lots of moss. There was a side trail to a waterfall which was nice and cool.
