We left a very cold Bryce Canyon at 10:15 in the morning and set off on one of America's scenic byways, through winding roads that passed through woodland with trees turning bright red and yellow, already very different from the red rock of Utah.

While having dinner we read about the Sequoia trees, one of the interesting facts about these trees is the ONLY way they can die is by falling over!
