Bryce Canyon and surroundings

After leaving Salt lake and driving towards Escalante our initial plan was to stop at Capitol Reef, but we decided to take our chances and try to meet up with Helena and Eefje in Bryce Canyon. This was one of the final views of Escalante Grand Staircase before we headed into some serious lightning storms.

After arriving in Bryce I decided to do a quick 3km hike before heading to the hotel. After completing the hike I saw that Ine already bumped into Helena and Eefje by accident on the rim of Bryce Canyon. We knew they were in the area, but the odds were still against us to actually find them

The next day Helena and Eefje were going to visit Zion National Park, but since dogs aren’t allowed on the bus service that goes into the actual park area and we were traveling with Grizzly, we decided to just do a quick drive-through. We’ve been there before, but still, it’s a shame they don’t allow dogs in the park (but still let you pay the park entry fee).
