We went to bed last night with news of bomb threats a few blocks away on the TV (later still we found the instigator had been shot and put in hospital). Surprising, since Salt Lake City seemed quite peaceful and nice in the time we spent near its centre.
Sadly we've not been able to see more of the city by day as it was another dawn start this morning. No big kilometers today, rather we were taking the long way ‘round to Cedar City.
Moving south along the edge of the Rocky Mountains we saw some delightful countryside – even if there were very few trees.
We spent most of the afternoon checking out Bryce Town (lunch) and Bryce Canyon, with its “Hoodoos”:
We've like immensely the mid-Western states we've visited. The people have been wonderful and the countryside spectacular.
Tomorrow we visit Zion National Park before making our way into Arizona and the Grand Canyon for sunset and sunrise. Hmmm…better make sure camera batteries have enough electricals in them – do not want to miss it!
Not sure about the next post - no idea if the Grand Canyon has interwebs and our first night in Vegas promises to be a big one...
It sure is stunning. Such a fascinating area by the looks of it. It's a bit like re-visiting Saturday afternoon matinees!
ReplyDeleteOne can just imagine John Wayne coming out of the doors of one of those shops in Bryce City saying “Well, there are some things a man just can’t run away from.”
