One of Utah’s many wonders is the number of amazing National Parks all within a short driving distance of one another. Taking advantage of our <2 hour proximity to Bryce Canyon we ventured on a day trip to see the Martian Hoodoos I’ve heard so much about. We hiked down between the spires, cooled by the extreme winds that are primarily responsible for these odd formations. Even the trees appear to grow like twisted rope from the wind’s force.
Tired from two days of hiking, hubby and I parted for our next day’s adventure, him for another strenuous scramble to Zion’s Hidden Canyon, and me for a dusty 3.5 hour horseback ride through the Zion Valley. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any pictures of the horse, but I can tell you her name was Ms. Ed.
Now we’re breaking camp while my dad makes us a batch of pre-road pancakes. Then we’re off to Park City for our final days of vacation. Where does the time go?
