September 19: From the Bryce Canyon Best Western

So, we've finally got access to internet that isn't slow as molasses (thank you Best Western).

Bryce Canyon was amazing. We got here last night, as Matt mentioned, after we checked out the southeast corner of Zion. Just as we left Zion it started raining cats and dogs. We got a cool lightning show on the road to Bryce and, luckily, we rolled into Bryce just as the storm passed.

We got a campsite in Bryce, then drove to the rim of the canyon to see the Hoodoos, which are simply amazing. I took some photos last night at the Hoodoos, which are the shots with the overcast sky. Then we grabbed a shower at the park General Store, did laundry in town (it is SOOOO great to finally have clean socks again!) and grabbed dinner in town.

This morning we woke up early and hiked down into the Hoodoos which was even cooler than seeing them from above. You can distinguish the morning's photos because there is a really cool lighting effect on the Hoodoos from the rising sun.

Now, as I mentioned below, we're holing up near the only TV we could find in the area at the Best Western watching the Cal game. Here are the links to the last few sets of photos:

Tonight, we're off to Eastern Utah to see Arches, Canyonlands and beyond.
