Made it to Bryce Canyon with just enough time to set up camp, but not to sight see. The hiking trails involved some crazy heights here, so I was grateful.
It was a quick check-in and setup. The camp sites were not very private, but the park was quiet and that was nice.
As an added bonus, I found these guys enjoying the park as well.
Still on a road trip… So… here are more car photos for you. You’re welcome.
This is highway 70 leaving Moab and Arches National Park headed toward Zion.
And from there we made our way onto highway 12. I attempted driving highway 12, but absolute noped. Beautiful twisting winding road… with less than a meter space between your tires and instant death.
While the natural sandstone arches are absolutely stunning… the word of the day is HOT. I don’t mind the heat so much, but my traveling companions were possibly dying a little. I would take precautions making this trip with children in the middle of summer. And definitely take extra water with you.
Since this is a road trip post, you get a whole post that is just the view from the car heading from Kremling, CO into Moab, UT. No joke. Just a gallery of the road. There is nothing here.
We arrived pretty late and took the last room at the hotel. The place was actually pretty nice and had special cleaning supplies and storage spaces for bicycles.
We took a cross-country roadtrip from Michigan to the great “out west.” I had never been further west than Illinois or Louisianna, so I was pretty excited.
The first stop was to visit some old friends from high school that had moved out to Kremling. The first impression I had of colorado was a waterfall visible from the highway. I was absolutely thrilled.
We went hiking around a bit for some spectacular moutain views. This place was absolutely unreal. I have never seen columbines growing wild before.
And it turns out there is a place to feed the chipmunks without problem. No one camps or hikes there so it’s just a roadstop with chipmunks that eat from your hands. I guess they won’t destroy everything.
People stop here for the overlook and feeed these guys. The cuteness is overwhelming. But the view is pretty nice as well.
