... drogowych. W koncu dojechalismy, jednak okazalo sie, ze olej wcale nie musi byc wymieniany i wystarczy zresetowac komputer. W opinii pracownika firmy Thrifty bylo to calkiem oczywiste, ja jednak musialem sie troche poawanturowac. Niemniej sprawa byla zalatwiona i ruszylismy w kierunku parku Bryce Canyon.<br>Do przejechania mielismy okolo 400 kilometrow, w wiekszosci dwupasmowa autostrada (ograniczenie predkosci az do 75 mph). Droga ...

... and then drops into the basin, igniting the crowded pillars of pock and casting shadows on the hoodoos, making them stand in relief as if they are awaking. The light slowly differentiates the caves on the rim, called grottoes, from the cliffsides. Suddenly, all the hushed anticipation was assaulted by loud talking and laughing from behind, as a busload of Japanese tourists arrived carrying the finest photo equipment to shoot the sight. They crowded ...

... ingredient that shapes this park's amazing landscape - through frost wedging and chemical weathering. The rangers say that at Bryce, the temperature goes above and below freezing for over 200 days/year. This freeze and thaw cycle is the driving force behind the hoodoos. Melt water seeps into fractures and then freeze at night, putting tremendous pressure on the rock. Also, rain water which tends to be naturally acidic, slowly dissolves the ...

... over naar huis te schrijven (al is dat nu net wat ik wel doe ...) Stef eet een weinig spectaculaire cowboy's pasta (pasta met een getomatteerde saus en stukjes worst en salami) en ik eet een stoofpot met rundsvlees (zacht!), worteltjes (niet lekker) en aardappel (oude aardappelen met een taaie schil er nog aan). Kortom: geen aanrader. Na het eten keren we terug naar onze kamer. We zijn eigenlijk doodmoe maar wachten op de man des huizes omdat we ...

... hiked the Navajo/Peek-a-boo/Queens Garden Loop. About 2 miles from the campground round trip. Good hike. The last mile was the toughest - coming up out of the canyon, and it was getting warm too. We got back at 1:00pm. Time for resting at the campsite. On the hike we walked through Wall Street - a narrow, steep walled gorge. Then we walked among hoodoos - pinnacles or odd shaped rocks left standing by ...

... min arriva qualcuno dell'agenzia che ci chiede se stavamo bene e fà delle foto dei danni. Finalmente si riparte per l'Antelope....veloceeee che sono le 11.50!!! Arriviamo all'Antelope alle 12.05....che spettacolo la luce che entra! Anche se c'è un pò di gente (si sà che il tour delle 12 è il più quotato) , si riescono a trovare dei momenti solitari per fare un pò di foto... anche se il posto mette a dura prova anche i fotografi più professionali!. La guida molto ...

... at Bryce Canyon National Park and the Sunset campground within the park. The clouds had built again and it was quite chilly and overcast. After having a much-needed shower we had our dinner then cosied-in with a couple of episodes of "24". <br><br>Distance travelled: 130 miles <br><br>Total distance travelled: 2951 miles <br><br>Days on road: 28 <br><br>States visited: 6 <br><br>National Parks visited: 6

... road where we would never be seen! we set up our palace of a tent, but realizing that even though it was almost dark, it was only 7:30, we went in search of a cup of coffee and a snack. just our luck there was a diner serving til 9 with coffee and fish sandwiches...what more could we ask for?? the waiter gave us some great recomendations for hikes and a warm smile and, with our bellies full, we headed back to camp excited to try out our new tent! little did we know we were ...

... A few helpful hints for future visitors. Get breakfast at Zion lodge. They have a cold and a hot breakfast buffet - both very reasonable (you can also make a sausage sandwich or two for the hike : ). Take ibuprophen before you go hiking. And finally, while 2.5 hours up the canyon is okay - you have to come back - we were dying! We are now in Tropic, UT outside of Bryce Canyon. We'll hit that park tomorrow.

... to take some sunrise photos and Nadia lazily stayed behind in bed. While we dozed and watched Maury Povich I froze. The sky was completely clear once again though so I was happy. When I returned we headed to the Moab Diner for some breakfast grub. I highly recommned the Breakfast Burrito which comes smothered in green chili. Also, the Moab Diner is the first establishment I've ever been to that featured the bottomless cup of hot chocolate! We decided to skip Canyonlands National Park ...
