A YEAR ON THE ROAD IN OUR MOTORHOME
BOOK 5/PAGE 3
We came upon three deer down by the river and were fortunate enough to catch them in their crossing the river. The trail up this small river canyon if narrow and you really don't want to walk any place but the trail. The further into the canyon you go the closer the canyon walls become until the only way to continue is in the river.
June, 1991 to June, 1992
I stop to admire the view during our canyon hike. At one point in the park is this lovely waterfall you can walk under.
Leaving Zion you will come upon these great formations that really stand out on a sunny day. We are headed for Bryce Canyon and find a nice campground about 15 minutes away. On our way every day to Bryce Canyon we pass through Red Canyon, which has deep reddish colors but is much smaller than Bryce. Never the less it to has great trails and much to see.
Bryce Canyon is really not a canyon, rather it is an erosion of a cliff but it has to be one of the prettiest monuments in the nations. You won't find formations like you will see in Bryce. Although it is April, the air is cold and there is snow scatter around.
The Fairyland trail is 9.5 miles long and it appears to be not that hard so we decide to take it. Around each corner are more wonderful formations and sites to see. On the right you can see the trail ahead winding through the hills and valleys.
The natural bridge formation is one of many formations caused by wind, rain, and temperature erosion. The day is getting colder by the minute it seems and we are wondering if we will ever get to the end. Near the end we run into a small snow storm but, fortunately, it lasts only a few minutes and is light in nature.
