We left Hurricane heading toward Torrey, our route allowed a stop at Bryce Canyon. It is nice but not as Zion in our opinion. Correct name should be bluff, overlook, something along those lines would be more correct description. My camera battery died so we used Mary's phone. Does not capture the depth of field that would help show it off.
To be sure it has a rugged beauty about it.
Get out your Utah map again.In an effort to see the country I choose to take scenic route 12 from Bryce to Torrey. It was spectacular in it's scenic beauty along it's path....best seen from a motorcycle,not 15 tons of RV. Narrow two lane road the entire way. 10% grades to ascend and descend. Hairpin turns with NO guardrails. Climbed to 9700ft elevation going over Boulder mountain. Mary was far, far from being a happy navigoddess. While I will never travel that route again, you should. As you probably figured out, no photos en-route. Truly a white knuckle drive. I went for the bottle as soon as we we were parked at Thousand Islands RV park.
