Bryce Canyon National Park

Mon 5/27 - Wed 5/29
Bryce Canyon National Park - Ruby's Campground

Our drive from Navajo National Monument to Bryce Canyon National Park, through spectacular country, was through periodic rain and snow. As we threaded out way up through Red Canyon, snow began to fall, but the road remained clear. We need to put Red Canyon on our bucket list - it looks beautiful!

Thunderheads were building to the north - right where we were headed!

Red Canyon - added to our list for the future

We set up camp in Ruby's Campground site #98, near the laundry and the showers. The sites were somewhat close, but under the trees, which was nice. After having lunch, we did our laundry, finished some housekeeping, then we drove over Ruby's Cowboy Buffet for dinner. I had a salad and Ernie had the full buffet dinner. Good food, so we were pleased.

On Tuesday, we toured Bryce. Lots of tourists from all over the world, were enjoying the park and it was crowded. Because of the snow and sleet, we toured the sites, took photos, but did little else, because the trails were covered with snow and mud. That night we, again had dinner at Ruby's Cowboy buffet.

On Wednesday, we headed to Capitol Reef - Wonderland RV Park (we had been unable to obtain a camping reservation for Fruita CG in December, since the demand this year is so high - disappointing, but that's what's happening to the national parks now.) They are being well-loved.
