Bryce Canyon 26, 27 April


The road out of Zion National Park is spectacular.  It was built in the 1930's as one of Roosevelt's  unemployment relief program.  Here come Dan and Debbie negotiating one of the switchbacks.


Another view from the road.


We stayed at Bryce Canyon for two nights.  It is full of glowing rock formations called Hoodoos (pillars of rock left by erosion).  As the Americans say, the whole canyon is "drop dead gorgeous". 

Looking down a canyon.


A beautiful  but steep hike down the Navajo Loop Trail takes you to the bottom of the canyon.


The very bottom of the trail.





Arriving back up to the top.

We encountered Queen Victoria on the Queen's Garden Trail.




At Brice our accomodation was Ruby's Inn Lodge.  We were in a motel type unit and Debbie and Dan camped in the RV park.  Ruby's Inn is like a village with lots of accommodation, a huge general store, various other shops and also restaurants.
