Bryce Canyon NP

On a very cold windy day we drove through Bryce Canyon stopping at all the turnouts and taking short walks. Busy but not congested like Zion NP was, this park the drive is on the rim of the canyon while Zion is on the canyon floor. The views at Bryce are spectacular and the geology very interesting. Off white limestone, or dolomite, is on top, followed by several layers of red rock, then shale then sandstone. Most of the images won’t upload, connection is poor, may try again later.

We plan to go to Capitol Reef NP tomorrow, Arches Tuesday and Canyonland Wednesday and/or Thursday. Mesa Verde in Colorado is probably next. All of the drives if done in that order are less than 3 hours.
