Bryce Canyon National Park

We quickly learned that although stunning, there is not much going on in Utah.  We drove for 100+ miles and are pretty sure that we didn't see another human being the entire time.  So, since we were sure we wouldn't miss much, Babbitt decided to drive well into the night to get us as close to Bryce Canyon National Park as possible.

This natural wonder was unexpectedly Katie's favorite...so far

Now that we've started hiking nonstop, Katie is feeling a bit uneasy that she knows
how to properly use the term trailhead, but she's learning to cope with her new found hobby

We weren't planning on staying here late, but we happened upon their Astronomy Festival & decided
to stick around to see Saturn through a telescope in the "last grand sanctuary of natural darkness"

  2. Actually, most of these remarkable landmarks were hand-crafted at or before the turn of the last century.
