Highway 50, Zion, Grand Canyon (North), and Bryce

It started with Highway 50, the loneliest highway. Super cool. We stayed one night in the middle at a pullout and it was so quiet, you almost couldn't hold still enough to hear it. Almost nobody went by except maybe a trucker in the middle of the night. After checking out a couple of the ghost towns on the way, we made it to Zion and camped out for the night before doing a great hike the next day to Kolob Arch, the largest arch. After visiting Kolob Canyon we headed down to the south end of Zion to the main canyon there and did the Angel's Landing walk/hike/climb. What a view! At one point, the path narrows to only 34" with an 800' and 1200' foot drop on either side of you, so a chain is there to assist for most of the way. Then, to Grand Canyon North Rim, which was very peaceful and with limited crowds (unlike the South Rim). We did another great hike there halfway down the canyon to a waterfall and then back up. On the last day, we actually got to see Robin's brother Erik and his girlfriend Heather for a day. They are also on a road trip together and met us there for the day. After Grand Canyon, our most recent stop was Bryce Canyon, were we did a little walk through the Hoodoos and took some photos. Now, I think we're on our way up to Salt Lake City. I think we're missing a little city life so we may catch a drink and some music for a night before heading back west. We'll see! Hope you are well. --Robin & Josh
