Eeeeek - where did that week go? Time for some updates. I've spent today in bed; Mum spent yesterday in bed. IN VEGAS!!! Such a waste, but head colds don't really care where you are :(
After Monument Valley we had two nights at the delightful Ruby's Inn in Bryce Canyon. We drove from our room to the restaurant ... about 200 metres. Yes, it was COLD. I'd read somewhere on the net that the besdt way to see Bryce is to drive straight to the end of the no exit road up the mountain, and then stop off at all the turnouts on the right on the way back down. This was superb advice, as it meant every single stop was more breath-taking that the previous one. It never ceases to amze me how each national park in the US is so unique to itself. Simply stunning.
First up, here are a few shots from the morning we left Moument Valley:

And now, onto Bryce Canyon itself ...

| Told you it was cold ... ice crystals on Snowdrop's windscreen |

| This is the natural colour of Bryce |
 |
| This is with a filter, than many photos you see of the canyon use |
 |
| Yes, it was as harrowing as it looks! |
 |
| Ooooooo - I never knew I had a sepia filter! |
 |
| Yes, I'm holding on for grim death ... |
 |
| I'd just walked to the end of this path and back, which is not so bad when there's fence, but quite daunting when there isn't one. It's a LONG way down, and if you tripped ... |

Too bad about the head colds... Those safety railings look quite low, I don't blame you for "hanging on." :-)
