Trip through Utah, Idaho, and Oregon

Photos and Notes Day 6, Thursday, June 23


Prev. Day
We started the day in Cedar City which is the county seat for Iron County, Utah.  In my eight years of chasing county letters, I have never gotten and "I".  I have now bagged every letter but "X" for counties.

The scenic route from Cedar City to Bryce Canyon National Park is over the top of some mountain ridges. All along State Route 14, is some absolutely gorgeous scenery.  First, some really spectacular rock canyons through which we wove, then some great forested areas and some alpine high valleys.  Dixie National Forest has a lookout from which you can see 100 miles.

Bryce Canyon National Park is all it's cracked up (pun) to be.  For more photos of Bryce click here.

After Bryce, we headed back to I-15 the N/S highway up the center of Utah.  We over-nighted in Beaver, UT



On SR-14 at the top, we were in areas where the snow had not fully melted.

Navajo Lake fed by the melting snow

Small Alpine-like villages along the way

SR-14 ends at US-89

We stopped in Hatch, UT for a bit of a snack.
Across the road was a little bit of everything.

the approach to Bryce is itself something to see.

Unintentional self portrait, also beautiful
There are too many photos of Bryce to show on this page.  To see some of the photos we took, click here.
