Capital Reef, Bryce Canyon,

& Grand Staircase Escalante


Oct/Nov 2002 – After a full day in Canyonlands & a watch of the World Series it was off to the west.  I wanted to take the scenic route not knowing where I would end up in the evening.  So many beautiful sights along the way!  Stopped at Capital Reef and did a little exploring (pics 1-2).  Continued on to Bryce Canyon where I awoke to a glorious sunrise illuminating the Bryce Amphitheater (pics 3-6).  Later that morning I ended up in Grande Staircase Escalante National Monument at Calf Creek Falls (pic 7).  Finished the day down Hole-in-the-Rock Road & Peek-A-Boo gulch (slot canyon – pic 8).
