Bryce Canyon


Then we continued to Bryce Canyon, which is about two hours from Zion. We drove, well Christian did, through landscapes similar to those in Thelma and Louise, really outstanding red or black stone, mountain roads, canyons. We arrived at Bryce Canyon National Park for the sunset and headed to Sunset Point. More amazement, more red sandstone, amazing yellows, pinks, and whites. Here the erosion has created a geological curiosity, thousands of little chimneys called "hoodoos" in the canyon. Very different from Zion, really surprising. More French, Italian, and German tourists everywhere... The following day we walked in the canyon, Peek-a-Boo Loop Trail, with and elevation of 1555 feet/473 m. The landscape changed everywhere you looked and I got carried away taking pictures.
At last it was a bit fresher, and we even saw a bit of rain! The following day we left Utah with a feeling of amazement and certainly wanting to come back again.
