Journey to USA – day 15 (Bryce Canyon)

 

It was another early start of the day, but something happened, Ramoz lost his engagement ring and we had to help him to find the ring first, this dragged our plan and spoiled my mood totally. Btw, i was really frustrated after this especially i thought he should said sorry but he didn’t.

From Kaibab, we continued to our last national park visit which was Bryce Canyon at Utah state. We continued using the US-89 N route for 60 miles, and turned to use UT-63 S after entered the UT state, until we reached the Bryce Point Rd. The whole journey was rather short compared to previous days, it took only 2 and half hours.

Panoramic view of Bryce Canyons

Bryce canyon is famous for its colorful limestones that carved into thousands of arches and mazes by wind, snow and rain erosions. These amphitheaters are collectively called “hoodoos”. We chose to visit this park partly because we heard some people said it is prettier than Grand Canyon. Indeed, it’s another different kind of beautiful compared to Grand Canyon.

 

Can you image all these were done by the wind/snow erosions?

Ramoz and Bryce Canyon 

After entered the park, we choose the most direct option that’s drive around the park because the direction is clear, and each point of sightseeing is easy to get accessed by personal car. The 18-mile main park road offer opportunities for viewing different angles of Bryce Canyons, including the Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration, Bryce, Paria and Rainbow Point. We almost stop at every point, took photograph and allow little time for ourselves to observe these spectacular view quietly.

This showed us how the cliff patterns formed

White, Brown painted “Hoodoos”. Impressive!

Rainbow Arch

Sorts of funny names we also found in this park such as Palia and Agua. lol.

We spent the whole afternoon touring around Bryce Canyon then we went back to our hotel and spent some time at the Bryce’s Old town.

After the visit of Bryce canyon, marked the end of our 2-weeks US national parks road trip. It’s a relaxing trip with many things to see, we’re in love with these wonderful natures created by God. From Yosemite to Bryce Canyon, we’re lucky to be able see them all in two weeks time!

Not yet, not the end of the road trip. We still have Las Vegas! Stay tuned! “p
