Bryce Canyon
After leaving North Rim, drove to Panguich area and got a motel room. Then with only a couple hours of daylight, drove to Bryce Canyon. Clouds followed us all day, but which at Bryce Point, and 30 minutes before sunset, the sun came out.

Sunset Point 2 mile/400'vertical hike, "Navajo Loop" starting at "Wall Street"


On the 2nd day, we hiked down "Wall Street". Kathy slipped and scraped herself near the bottom. Jef was struggling on hike, due to hemoglobin down to about 50% of normal. We hiked up another trail, doing a 1 mile loop, but going down/up a few hundred feet.

After Mossy cave, we set out across the Grand Staircase (Escalante) area, Capitol Reef, and made it to Moab, eyeing great scenery on the way, but with complaints of stopping to take pictures from the girls, no pictures were taken along the way.
