Kanab, Utah: Bryce Is Twice As Nice

Today Mary Lynn and I spent most of the day in and about Bryce Canyon National Park. 

Wow -- what a place. When I first approached the edge of the canyon and looked down onto that massive, otherworldly landscape I was thunderstruck. It simply stopped me in my tracks. 

Bryce Canyon is just out of this world. Fantastic shapes in the form of spires, fins, hoodoos, arches, windows, peaks & valleys -- you name it and you'll find it in the park.

These forms come in all shapes and sizes although most come in XXL - 

Extra Extra Large. And the colors just take your breath away.

The weather kept changing all day. It was pretty cold with temps in the low 40's and high 30's although the 

temperature dropped to 34 at one point, the wind kicked up and it started to snow. It cycled through cloudy and overcast to sunny and back to cloudy several times throughout the day. And at the end of the day a big storm with very dark clouds blew into the park creating some spectacular sights.

As usual the photo's only capture a part of the beauty and sense of majesty that fills you while gazing into the canyon. 

Mary Lynn and I will leave Kanab tomorrow morning and head towards 

Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. Along the way we hope to explore more of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, Capitol Reef National Park, and Goblin Valley State Park.

Sweet -- except temperatures have definitely taken a dive into the 50's & 60's during the day and much colder at night. Oh well, might have to exchange shorts for long pants -- no biggie.

See Ya!
