We had three bonuses today. Free breakfast in Salt Lake, a free dinner with an undisclosed surprise.
Spent the better part of the day driving through Cowboy country. Beautiful scenery.
The afternoon we spent sightseeing and walking through Bryce Canyon. Let me say this has certainly been a highlight. If only we could get some photo's on here for you. The walk took nearly two hours and was about 4.8k's. Easy walk except for the last climb out where we struggled a little with our breathing. We didn't realise we were 8000ft above sea level where the air is rare. We actually got to use our legs for a change.
That evening we arrived at a town called Kanab. Kanab has hosted many a major Cowboy movie and TV series. The hotel, Parry Lodge, has had too many famous guest to name but we spent the night in the same room that Yvonne De Carlo slept in only a few decades ago.
I mentioned a surprise earlier....Dinner was the surprise. We were taken down the other end of town where we we FORCED to dress up as soldiers and indians etc and make believe were were making a cowboy film. Don't worry, we bought the photo's to prove it.
We had such a great time.
