Week 8 (6/4/09-6/10/09)

June 4





We did make it out of the Grand Canyon, went north and spent the night in Page Arizona.

June 5
We had the oil changed.
We are headed NW toward Zion National Park in Utah. 

Like I said earlier, can't ignore the rocks!


June 6
Zion has a clever system that we love. Bus transportation for everyone, so we take our bikes to the top of the canyon on the bus and ride down stopping at all the great places to see.







June 7
We hiked this day to paradise!




This was the ranger talk that just about did me in! Again geared toward 8 year olds, but the topic was gory and enough to give me nightmares let alone a child! All about different sub species and how they feed upon each other. Nothing so simple as just kill it and eat it, but prolonged disgusting methods. I may have to censor my Ranger Talks! 

June 8
The Virgin River is in Zion. Daaa!

We leave the main area of Zion and go to the north end of the park where only about 10% of visitors go. This is dramatic with beautiful views and no people. 





June 9
The Temple is in Zion National Park (main area).


We are on our way to Bryce National Monument heading east, but first stop at Cedar Breaks National Monument which looks a lot like Bryce but is very high in altitude, 10,350'




June 10
We are at Bryce National Park and the weather is doubtful, but clears for a beautiful day.





Bryce is such fun! Walking around in the hoodoos and all the crazy rock formations makes one happy! We spend another day here, but that is in next weeks pictures.
