I have always been told that Utah is a beautiful state. Prior to this trip I had been here only once, on a quick business trip to Salt Lake City. I know on this trip I have seen only a portion of all there is to see, but what I have seen is spectacular!
Yesterday we drove to and through Bryce Canyon. To my great surprise, there were scads of people there, busloads, literally. Far more than I saw, for instance, at Glacier NP. Too many. The overlooks were crowded, and I couldn't go on trails with Daisy, so I know I didn't see all I wamted to see. But what I did see was amazing. There are thousands of rock formations called hoodoos that are unique and hard to describe.
From there we took a very scenic route to the edge of Zion Park. It started raining, which is unusual here, and then I found out that we couldn't drive through the actual park; it is accessible only by tour bus, and they don't allow dogs. There is one trail we could have taken--they even allow dogs--but with the rain that wans't an option.
Today we drove to a northern part of Zion NP and saw some nice sights. Still nothing like what the interior must look like! As with other National Parks, this is one for a return trip without a dog (sorry, Daisy).
Speaking of the world's most spoiled dog, she is doing great. She charms people every where we go. There was a nice couple in Bryce Canyon who threatened to steal her--and even her obnoxious barking did not put them off!
Once again I cannot upload pictures...so see my postingson FB. Sorry.
We are off the to Grand Canyon tomorrow!
