Day 3

* This post was delayed due to Internet access. We had Internet, but it was only available in the lodge, and I was too busy watching the Olympics in bed to leave my room to go to the lodge. :o)

Springdale, UT to Bryce Canyon City, UT

129.6 miles

Time: N/A

(We drove through Bryce Canyon National Park before heading to our motel, so we didn’t get an accurate amount of time it took to get from Springdale to Bryce Canyon City.)

Highest Temp: 80

Pictures Taken: 237

We started off the day having breakfast near our hotel. Below is a picture of what we saw on our walk to the restaurant.

We left our hotel at 9:47am and headed to Bryce Canyon National Park via Zion National Park. 

The drive was breathtaking and BEAUTIFUL! Below are two pictures from the part of Zion we did not see yesterday.

Bryce Canyon National Park was INCREDIBLE! We drove a 36 mile loop and stopped at every location along the route. We didn’t take any hikes, but walked a short distance at almost every viewpoint to take tons of pictures. Below are two pictures from each stop we made. The rest of the pictures will be posted on Facebook.

It rained a bit at the last three viewpoints, but luckily didn’t pour until we were in the car. There were huge booms of thunder and awesome flashes of lighting while were at the last two viewpoints. When we got to our motel we went to dinner at the family owned restaurant next door. I am exhausted. It feels a lot later than 8:15pm. We are watching the Olympics and will be doing that for the rest of the night.
