The entrance to Zion NP was about 1 mile from our motel.
After a quick stop to the visitors center, we all decided to do a walk up to the start of the
Narrows, the place where the Virgin river becomes really narrow.

From Zion we had a short drive to Bryce Canyon NP - this was the route:

| Bison Boys. You can just tell that these guys will have blue bulls for breakfast any day of the week and twice on Sundays . . . |
I was fortunate to have visted Bryce before, but forgot how beautiful a place it is. These rock formations are formed due to a specific type of erosion - you can read more about it
here.
Like I said, one can't stop looking at the formations. We did not have enough time to walk down into the canyon, something I guess that will have to wait for the next visit.

| How beautiful is that! |
