One of the standout hikes of the trip was the Tower Bridge Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park. We hiked in snow and mud wearing Yaktrax traction cleats.Hoodoos in the snow, very few people and fast changing weather all contributed to a fantastic day on the trail!The Tower Bridge itself was a little anticlimatic. The journey was the prize.
One of my favorite parts of a road trip is stopping for lunch at a local diner/cafe. There’s road coffee, breakfast all day and friendly staff. This is The Main Street Cafe in Hurricane, Utah.
In their quick drying, rubberized gear and walking sticks, these two are about to walk up the North Fork of the Virgin River into The Narrows- the narrowest section of Zion Canyon.
I met Nick on Seabright Beach. He was collecting plastic and other funky stuff that had landed there after the storms. It was amazing to see the number of people cleaning the beach. One woman even had a city trash bin she was rolling along the sand as she collected storm debris. A Santa Cruz scene!
