Today is Bryce Canyon Day! This is quite a place, beyond explanation. It was only a few minutes from our campground! Unreal rock formations and views for miles. Not much in the park, a few stores outside the park. Only thing to note here is the above $4 a gallon gas and the astronomical prices […]
Today we head to our new campsite, on the east side of Bryce Canyon. Had to take a long way around, the shortest way across 14 highway was quite a climb, so we headed up north and then back down south. Trip was non-eventful, just took a few hours. Were staying at Kings Creek Campground, […]
Today was all about taking a drive towards Bryce Canyon and finding an “out of the way” campsite!We head out of Cedar City on 14 Highway and start climbing, I mean we CLIMB up the mountain. I think we end up around 9,000 feet! It was an awesome drive with lots of sights to see. […]
Today, we got up, Deb made cinnamon rolls and enjoyed the low humidity morning. No humidity is SO awesome!!We headed down to Kolab Canyon, a smaller canyon north and west of Zion. Wasn’t as big as Zion, but less crowded and just as pretty. Only a 5 mile drive to the end of the canyon. […]

Trailer stayed behind us for the most part, tightened down the sway bar. Made it thru Denver, up the Hill-From-Hell west out of Denver, thru the mountains and then down […]
