Departing early from Moab 

Those mountains contain retired Uranium mines

Ohh look, some cows

This fellow is very close to the road

Oh my there is a heard of them

These are clearly British cows

This is actually average rush hour traffic in Utah (bonus: real cowboys!)

A little rural village

We arrive at Bryce Canyon

Unlike most hikes we will be starting at the top and going down

These columns of rock are called “hoodoos”

Our destination is down there somewhere

Glamour shot

Getting in among  the hoodoos

A little tiny arch

Sunscreen is important

A part in the rock reveals the canyon below

This tree is holding on for dear life

We’re hitting the switchbacks

Getting further into the canyon

Lazy people, I mean horse riders

The TUNNEL!

This hoodoo is called Queen Victoria

Rangers will remind you not feed the animals, no matter how cute

Five planes flying overhead

Some rock bridges

The texture created by water running down the rocks is fascinating 

The only way out is up

That is a lot of switchbacks

Justin for scale

Back at the top

Looking down at the Queens Garden

The last look out over the canyon

Made it to Zion as the sun is setting

Its amazing how much greener the terrain is here

Looking out into Zion as the sun sets

Google’s attempt at a wide angle shot (with several stitching errors)

To get to our motel we have to go under the mountains

One last picture of the valley

Driving through Zion

Wow
