Bryce Canyon

The next morning it was off to Bryce Canyon - I'd never heard of it before researching this trip, but the pictures looked pretty good, so thought we'd check it out. And boy, was it cool! It's about an hour from Kanab, and is about 8200ft above sea level. The picture to the left is just before you enter the Canyon area.

We stopped at the gift shop (compulsory, with two girls on board), and then continued on into the park to stop at the view points. We were mainly only interested in seeing the "Silent City" - I'm guessing it's named that as the hoodoos all look like buildings, or maybe people.....





Pretty impressive, with great views over part of Utah. Bryce was an unexpected highlight of the trip so far.

I'm amazed at the lack of safety - a lot of the lookout points didn't have railings or anything - can't imagine that happening at home.

Few other things to get used to over in the good ole US of A - the gaps in the public toilet doors, in the cubicles - if you wanted to, you could see right on in there and check out what people are up to. Hmmmmm not such a fan.


Another unexpected highlight of today was Andrew getting ID'd at dinner when he asked for a beer. Awesomeness.
