Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Zion

Spring Break is a beautiful time of year to see the American Southwest.  For the second straight year I ventured down to Arizona and Southern Utah for a road trip.  Weather in the Grand Canyon was perfect once again with cool nights and perfect days.  The feeling of peering over the rim of the Grand Canyon is simply spectacular.  It was fun remembering last year's 50 mile Rim to Rim to Rim run.

Southern Utah's Bryce Canyon is right up there among my favorite national parks.  With barely any crowds and hundreds of brightly-colored hoodoos, it is truly a unique spot.  You feel more like you are on Mars then on planet earth.  At 8,000 feet the springtime snow blending with the shades of red in the rock is a beautiful combination.

Zion is gorgeous.  It is a Yosemite valley full of red cliffs instead of granite.  The Zion Mount Carmel Hwy is a joy to drive with spectacular views around each bend.
