Bryce Canyon National Park

Sunday morning we woke up and walked to a coffee shop close by for some lattes and breakfast.  We got our treats to go and sat up on the "observation deck" above the pool to enjoy our breakfast.  We had a little fun taking panoramic photos of Springdale, Utah.

After our delicious breakfast, we headed out to Bryce Canyon.  Here is our view as we were driving by the mouth of Zion.

We had to travel up a windy road to a tunnel to get by Zion and on our way to Bryce.  It was a GORGEOUS morning!

Going through the tunnel!

On the other side!

It was such a scenic drive!  Bryce Canyon was about 2 hours from where we were in Springdale.  We didn't really know what to expect in Bryce Canyon.  As we were getting close, we went by another State Park called Red Canyon. It had a couple fun tunnels.

And then we made it to Bryce!  Are you guys ready for this, I don't think you are. 

Nope, this isn't really it.  I'm not sure you are ready for the scenery.  We were shocked.  Michael and I have never seen anything like it.

BAM!  Take a look at these photos!

This is Bryce Canyon, isn't it amazing!

They had some trails that went down into the canyon, but they were pretty steep and we decided not to risk it with me.  I would love to come back and do some of these hikes though!

I was afraid to get too close to the edge. :-)

A little info on the park

All those spires you see are called Hoodoos. 

Michael likes pretzels

Another part of Bryce.

On our way out of Bryce, we stopped at the Red Canyon park (with the tunnels) and took some self shots.  Fun times.

It was a super quick trip, just Saturday and Sunday, so a lot of driving, but so worth it!  If you ever get a chance to visit either of these parks, DO IT!  :-)
