Another quick blog because of limited and slow wifi. We were out on the road to see the sunrise at Sunrise Point this morning and then took a 90-minute horseback ride (they actually were mules) into Bryce Canyon, dropping down 1,000 feet over two miles on a narrow, bumpy trail and then riding another two miles back up. That’s Carol directly in front of me.
After the ride, we both had trouble standing up.
We spent the rest of the day exploring other canyons and doing our best to avoid thunderstorms in the area.
I spent some time last night looking up at the stars in our campground.
Tomorrow it’s on to Zion National Park and then Las Vegas the day after.

Love the white mule. You both are looking so good. I hope you are also relaxing a bit. Keep those pics coming they are just beautiful. You are going to have a hard time picking pics for your new book.

Another wonderful day and maybe the cowboy and cowgirl life is not for you!! Will be interested in the different experiences between Zion and Las Vegas. Don’t bet the Roadtrek!! Talk about worlds apart!!
“Mormon pioneer Isaac Behunin is generally credited with giving the name “Zion” to the canyon. Zion was a term used by Latter-day Saints to describe a place of peace where they could gather to worship God…. When Isaac Behunin arrived in Springdale in 1862 he is said to have exclaimed, ‘ These are the Temples of God, built without the use of human hands, A man can worship God among these great cathedrals as well as in any man-made church–this is Zion.”
― Tiffany Taylor, Zion National Park
Of all the major destination towns in the U.S., Las Vegas might be the most perfectly, unashamedly transparent. No other city in North America, after all — and perhaps no other city in the world — has for so long been so identified with one pursuit: namely, the heart-pounding, more-often-than-not-futile hunt for the improbable, near-mythic Big Score.
