Today
we left the Grand Canyon and drove to Tropic, UT where we are booked
into a Bed and Breakfast, convenient to Bryce!!!
The
route today took us back to US89 and then north through some very
unusual landscapes and then onto US89Alt as a detour. In February a
landslide tore away a portion of US89 and the road is still under
repair. As it turned out US89Alt is a very scenic road and crosses
the Colorado River at Lees Ferry where the first bridge across the
Colorado that enabled traffic from Arizona to drive directly to Utah
was constructed in 1928. We had wonderful views of the Vermillion
Cliffs and once we reached Utah drove through amazing scenery until
we reached the Bed and Breakfast which is set in 80 acres right up against the
Bryce Canyon boundary.
