June 18 - Zion, Red & Bryce Canyons

Leaving Hurricane, Utah after a good night's rest we headed for Zion Canyon.  The road to the park was lovely.

 

The free tour bus we rode in.

The price came with the entrance fee.

I purchased a $10.00 entrance fee which will

last all my life for all National Parks

 

 

This route is one that the shuttle buses take.

No cars beyond  the park hotel.

 

 

This route is wheelchair assessable so I could

walk most of it.  I did stop and rest while Shelley

with the camera walked to the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where we ate our lunch outside.

 

Views from our table

 

 

Highway 9 takes us across the southern side

of the park.  Views along this route.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are now through Zion National Park on our way to

Bryce National Park.

 

 

These elk are fenced in but we thought they were

majestic with their big antlers.

 

The outcroppings on the hills were getting more

red the farther we went.

 

We came to the sign that said Red Canyon

and we knew the reason why.

 

Bryce Canyon is beautiful but you have to get out

of the car at each site to see the formations.  The

driving is on high flatter ground with the canyons

below.
