Day eleven, Bryce Canyon, Utah, elevation 7683

It was a travel day, but only about 110 miles. We arrived in time for a late lunch and a look around the neighborhood.

The drive took us north on US 89, then east on Utah 12. All the drive was beautiful, but the turn onto highway 12 knocked our socks off. The Red Canyon you enter is spectacular, and since Leila was driving at the time gave her the chance to drive under two red rock arches that go over the highway. Very cool!

In the afternoon we took a drive out to Kodachrome Basin State Park. We continue to be amazed at the variety of ways the sandstone arranges itself throughout this trip.

The campground here is huge, with lots of elbow room between sites. We are here until Monday. Tomorrow Leila takes a mule ride down into the canyon (no ride for me, the mules have a weight limit. No mule chiropractors, I guess!). Tomorrow night the group goes to a chuck wagon style dinner that also has a musical show. More then…
