Trip to Utah: Bryce Canyon

We drove out to Utah for a trip to visit family. We took the scenic route across Nevada on route 50 “The Loneliest Road in America”.  It was the fastest route to Panguitch, Utah from our house in California.  The drive out wasn't as bad as it sounds.  Mom thought it actually was a little more scenic than the I-80 route.  We also listened to Rohl Dahl Audio books along the way, so time seemed to go by faster.

 On the first day we went to the scenic outlooks Sunrise and Sunset Points with our cousins and then afterwards we hiked to a waterfall in a canyon in the north part of Bryce Canyon.

 Starting our hike to the waterfall.  

 Lily loved the "windows".

On the second day, Dad started his race with Uncle Alan, so mom and the kids got up early and started our hike into the valley.  They kids really wanted to hike down into the hoodoo's and explore! It was a very pretty hike with a light breeze. Being down in the valley and exploring was one of our favorite parts of this trip.  It was amazing to look up at such beautiful creations.  We took our time and enjoyed all of the pretty sights.  We took the Wall Street trail down into the valley and then Queens Garden route out.
