Ok, so after Zion, I headed out to Bryce National Park. These two park are very different. Zion has deep canyons, where as Bryce has protruding hoodoos, these amazing things that pop out of the landscape. It is absolutely beautiful and like nothing I've ever experienced before. I wish I had more time there, but I only spent an actual day in the park. I did do some hikes and saw the majority of the major sites. Walking amongst the hoodoos was probably the highlight of the trip here, they are crazy cool.
It was a great place, that I will be visiting again soon......
Alright so after, Bryce, I drove another 5 hours to see Arches national park. This park, unlike the previous two, is really geared towards driving. Of course there are hikes that you can do to see the arches, but most of them consist of maybe a half mile or mile. There were some longer hikes that I took, but missed the hike that required advance reservation. Plus it was over a hundred that day. At this point I was pretty lonely and ready for some sort of human/t.v. interaction. So I did the whole park and then thought I would stay in the town nearby, but it was labor day weekend and everything was booked. I headed towards
Colorado. I finally sucked it up and decided to stay in a hotel. Now don't get my wrong the first couple of days of my trip were great. However, next time I decided to drive cross country, I will be taking a companion of some sorts. Driving for five or six hours everyday by yourself really gets old! Hey, you live and you learn. So, the next couple of days, there was a lot of miles put on little miss Lola. Oh, and another reason why I would want a companion, is because someone else is likely, to say, hey let's stop at this random location! When you are by yourself, it's just not as fun. So the next few days are blah, driving, more driving and more driving, and really besides the St. Louis arch, nothing exciting happened.
