More From Bryce Canyon

I had to share just a few of the many,many pictures we took yesterday. (I am so thankful for digital cameras -- we'd be broke if we were buying film! And we'd probably not be taking so many pictures...)


If you look closely at the hoodoo on the left, you can actually see a little bristle cone pine growing on top of it. These are the toughest trees, they seem to grow directly out of the rocks, without any soil involved.



This area is called the "silent city." It's easy to imagine a ghost city below --



Remember I said it was cold? That white stuff down between the outcroppings is SNOW!
One of the tunnels where the road goes right through the red rock --


There is no doubt that the scenery in southern Utah is fabulous. This gorgeous outcropping is in Red Canyon before you even get to the National Park!




I'm sure glad we went to Bryce yesterday. It's been nasty, windy and gusty all day. It rained "dust" during the night and both the Toad and Auntie Violet have dirt spattered windows. We ventured as far as the grocery store and Costco late enough this afternoon that Forry could have his favorite dinner of Polish dogs.

  1. I think the parks in Utah are among the prettiest in the US. Your photos are the enxt best thing to being there. This is my first visit to your blog but I'll be back often. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
