Miles: 45.
Took a short day to spend some time at Bryce Canyon, which Lou has been looking forward to for the whole trip. We were really disappointed by how touristy the park was, and how expensive it was just to get in, but the park is really beautiful; thousands of columns of rocks amid the pink, red and white canyons. The Native American legend of Bryce Canyon is that before there were any Indians, there was a village there of spirits which were really animals but had the ability to make themselves look like people. They did something bad, which supposedly the legend is unclear about, and as a result were turned into stone. Camped in the park and going to take a hike around the canyon this morning before we head out. Sorry this is so boring; nothing much to talk about from yesterday except more rocks and steep climbs.

Hey Mal,
ReplyDeleteThis is Tom, I just got over Monarch Pass. I was so happy to see that you mentioned me on a couple of guest books at diners and stores, it was really nice to see that after those long, lonely treks.
I see you guys are way out ahead of me. But I'm still pedaling along. Hope all is well.

Hi Mal and Lou, Just sitting here on the edge of my seat waiting like the front page of a newspaper waits for the top story of the day.
