Day 2 - Drove to the Kolob Canyons secition of Zion NP, a beautiful but often overlooked part of the park. The pics aren't that great because we went there first thing in the morning and the sun light was directly on the canyons. We then drove onto Bryce Canyon National Park through Cedar Breaks National Monument and Red Rock Canyon. Utah Route 12 is a beautiful route with constantly changing landscapes. We stopped at Cedar Breaks on the way to Bryce Canyon. It was nice but honestly, after se...

Day 11 In the early morning, we were greeted with the unusual cry of a fowl-like bird called the Chukar. It reminded us somewhat of our own Guinea Fowl back at school! After breakfast, we set out for Bryce Canyon NP for our jam-packed day of excitement and adventure. Our first event of the day was the popular ATVs! The study tour members and moderators split up into three groups of 10 each which went for our 1 hour tour at 9, 10, and 11:00 AM. Instructors Kevin and Jason taught us about the p...

News from Debbie:

We arrived at Bryce Canyon early and were able to take a horseback ride to the Rim (awesome views) and take the shuttle to other points in the park. I got to ride Ute and Sara was on Albert. It's so cool how they have their own personalities. Ute liked to stop and eat the foliage (this is really bad) and I had to scold him like a little kid. He would always know when I was either chatting with the guide or looking at the views.

By the way, the cowboys take off...

Po sniadaniu zjedzonym w hotelowym pokoju wsiedlismy do samochodu i przejechalismy do parku narodowego Zion (Syjon). Trasa byla bardzo interesujaca. Po zjechaniu z drogi numer 89 na numer 9, jeszcze przed wjechaniem na teren parku dojrzelismy z daleka pasace sie stado bizonow. Niedlugo potem przekroczylismy wschodnia granice parku i zaczely sie zakrety, po czym pojawil sie napis ostrzegajacy o korku i rzeczywiscie musielismy zatrzymac sie na koncu kolejki samochodow czekajacej na przejazd tun...

Hello Friends, Had a great time today. Wook up very early, had a big breakfast before going to Zion Park. We took a small bus that bring us into the park. We stopped at "Emerauld Pool". We hiked for about 2 hours to go see cascades. It was nice...and the rocks are very big, tall, and impressive. My sisters were very tired... We made a picnic inside the park. My dad & uncle did the sandwich. Around 2 PM, we took the road to go to Bryce Canyon, that we will visit Sunday. We sang, played Nin...
