Let's catch you up on the last few days. On Sunday we were in Bryce Canyon National Park. Fun Fact: It's technically not a canyon since canyons are formed either from rivers (like the Grand Canyon) or glaciers. Bryce is actually a series of large hoodoos. As our guide said, it is better described as a slowly eroding rock formation. Regardless of the technicalities, it had my favorite views of the trip.
On Sunday afternoon we drove through Zion National Park and into Springdale which is just outside the main gates of the park where we stayed at the Driftwood Lodge.
We had a great dinner at Bit Spur - awesome Latino food on a great patio. Get reservations.
Be sure to get up early for sunrise from your patio at Driftwood Lodge.
Breakfast was at Oscar's Cafe with the fluffiest pancakes!
On Monday, we headed into Zion for the Riverside Hike. It goes along the Virgin River, past weeping walls and flowing springs. If you have the right equipment, including waterproof shows, you can walk through the river deeper into the park.
After lunch at the park, we headed back to Salt Lake City at 2 PM, arriving at the Little America hotel just before 7 PM. Dinner was at Itto for some sushi!!
Today we'll check out of the hotel and have an excursion to Antelope Island to see some wildlife. Later, we'll have our transfer to the airport for our flight back to IND. It's been a great trip to see the Mighty Five!!
