Day 16 - 18 - Bryce Canyon UT


















































Happy 4th to our friends and family back home! Saturday (Day 16) was a very long driving day (11 hours) from West Yellowstone MT through Idaho and most of Utah to Bryce Canyon UT, which included a flat tire on the camper about 30 miles from the campground. Upon further inspection I actually had three bad tires and only one spare. I replaced the flat and we pressed on to the campground with two bad tires at 45 mph praying we wouldn't have anymore flats. It was a very long 30 miles! Fortunately, there was a big tire shop in Bryce Canyon so today the camper will have four new tires. Yesterday (Day 17) after cleaning and washing clothes, we headed over to Bryce Canyon for the afternoon. What a magnificent place. It is small in comparison to Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, but nevertheless a wonderful place to visit. Last night, there will be fireworks here at the campground. Today (Day 18) we went horseback riding through the Red Canyon in the Dixie National Forest for 6 miles. Tomorrow (Day 19) we will be drive on to the Grand Canyon for three days before heading home. I hear it is hot back home so we will not brag about the 70 degree day we had and the predicted low of 37 tonight.
