On Sunday we made our way down from Salt Lake City to the “Grand Circle” area of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona where Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon can be found. On our way to our cabin in centrally located Glendale, UT we stopped at a delightful little cafe in Parowan, UT to check out their buns…

Then it was through the Cedar Breaks National Monument with some amazing scenery and ancient lava flows and on to our little cabin at The Lazy T Ranch.

Then it was off to dinner in Kanab on the Arizona boarder. Shout out to our Sister-in-Law Nedra, we found her restaurant in the area where Gunsmoke and many other westerns were filmed.

We immediately caught up on some laundry and got prepared for our the next day in Bryce Canyon.

The views in Bryce Canyon are stunning. We’ll post an album when we return to civilization but below are just a few.

Our first glimpse of Bryce Canyon

Bristlecone Pines like this are the oldest living things on earth.

We hiked to this point from the area at the top center of this photo.

We hiked a bit below the rim on this Queens Garden Trail

All that hiking worked up an appetite for dinner and ho-made pie! ????
