Day 13 - The day of... EXTREMES

Looking at the title, I bet you can guess that today is going to be a busy day.

We're going to be visiting Grand Staircase/Escalante, Bryce Canyon, & Cedar Breaks!

We are also going from 45 degrees and snow to more than 90 and super sunny!

Talk about extremes!

First we spent an hour at the Grand Staircase/Escalante Visitor's Center. It wasn't a national park, it was BLM land.

We then headed over to Bryce Canyon National Park.

"Fun Fact: It isn't actually a canyon, because there is no river flowing through it!"

We didn't really hike at all, but took lots of cool pictures.

We saw lots of cool stuff, and Bunny took panoramas with my phone.

From there, it was off to Cedar Breaks National Monument.

But on the way there...

"WE SAW SNOW!!"

"We are now at about 10,000 foot altitude... Which is a lot compared to Vancouver's 100 ft." Well, yep.

After Cedar Breaks, we stopped at Zion on our way to St. George.

Tonight we are sleeping in a World mark Condo! :)

But it also means...

"Our road trip is almost over?"

Sadly, yes.

- - - - - - - - - - -

By the way, St. George was super hot... Over 90 degrees hot.

Tomorrow's Hint:

One of the National Parks I mentioned today we are stopping at again.

"But... You mentioned like, 5 different parks!"

I know. :)
