We took Highway 
9 from Zion to Bryce. A very scenic route taking in a couple of tunnels, one of which is about 2 miles long with "windows" cut in the rock every so often to let in light and give you a fleeting glimpse of the huge rock races outside.
We arrived at Bryce about 3pm after first driving through Red Canyon. Bryce is a self drive park with an 18 mile one way in one way out road with several viewing points along the way. The most outstanding of these was Bryce Point
. We were just blown away by the view. Alas our pictures don’t do it justice. Was definitely a time when an expensive camera with a wide lens would have been an asset.
The view at Rainbow Point reminded us of the Painted Desert in Arizona.
Eventually we tore ourselves away from this awesome spectacle and headed off in search of accommodation for the night. Easier said than done. We eventually found a room in the little town of Escalante about 50 miles from Bryce. Had dinner in a little café watching a small flock of Hummingbirds fight for drinking rights in the feeders hanging on the
verandah. Perfect end to a 
perfect day.
