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.
Just outside Bryce Canyon National Park.The highest elevation and the coldest weather of the roadtrip. It was exciting for us coastal Californians to experience the snowy southwest! Beautiful too!
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.
Some roadside attractions from the first couple of days of Roadtrip 2023, Mojave, CA.Not our motel, Mojave, CA.Main Street Barstow could use a facelift. Route 66 is looking a little worn.Funny thing is, the original Del Taco was in Yermo, CA. The Barstow location is the oldest Del Taco still operating.
SR 447 Nevada, the scenic route to Pyramid Lake.A great day trip from Reno. Pyramid Lake is the biggest remnant of ancient Lake Lahontan, the enormous inland sea that once covered most of Nevada. The lake is part of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe reservation.
