Bryce to Zion

After a leftover pizza breakfast, we packed up and drove the scenic road through Bryce stopping at some of the overlooks. The views just continue to amaze! We parked and hiked the Rim Trail from Sunset Point to Inspiration Point to Bryce Point. While we were looking at the same area the whole time, with every bend it brought a different perspective. The views never got old or boring, just more beautiful. I think this has to be my favorite park by far. We rode the shuttle back to our parking spot and said goodbye, heading to our next destination - Zion National Park. As we drove, the landscape changed dramatically. We entered from the west side and drove through a couple of small rock tunnels and then one very long tunnel, where they only let one direction go at a time. We finally arrived at the campground. Our site is a walk in site so we have to use the tent we have been carrying with us this entire trip. Since we have to carry everything into our site and park elsewhere, and because it was very hot, we decided this was a good night to eat out. We went to the Zion Brewery in Springdale where there happened to be live music. It was 88° when we left the campsite and it is supposed to go down to about 55° tonight.Read more
