Bryce Canyon, UT

Today we drove from Moab, UT which is near both Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park in the southeast part of the state to Panguitch, UT which is near Bryce National Park in the southwest. Yesterday we had temperatures in the 80's, but a storm moved in overnight and the weather changed drastically. We drove through rain, sleet, hail, snow and winds gusting to 30 mph. We visited Bryce National Park this afernoon and the high was around 50 degrees and still very windy. We dug out our winter coats that we had used at Pike's Peak. Salt Lake City was hit with the same storm and they had up to 20 inches of snow in the Wasatch Mountains northeast of the city. The high in Salt Lake City today was 49. When we were there over the weekend, the temperature was in the 80's.

This tunnel was on the way into the park.

Just some of the Hoodoos found in the park.

Natural bridge found in the park.

More Hoodoos. Bryce is known for the Hoodoos. Notice the valley in the background. At the highest viewing area we were at 9100 feet and we could see into Arizona 90 miles away.

As I have said before, this is the most beautiful and unique country. Every day we see more and more awesome sights. Of all of the western states, we find Utah the most unique and beautiful.
