As we continue our journey to Yellowstone or Bust, we leave Red Rock Canyon just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada we head north towards Utah and ultimately to Bryce Canyon.
Bryce Canyon has been on my places to see list as most National Parks are for a very long time. We chose to bypass Zion and head to Bryce because it is on our path to Wyoming and Yellowstone.
Anyway, we left Red Rocks Canyon campground, which was an awesome stay, and headed up Hwy 15 towards Utah. We traveled through some amazing scenic views once we hit Utah as you can see in a few of the pictures in this post. Once we crossed into Utah, we did a stop at the Utah visitor center which was really interesting. If you’re ever crossing into Utah from Nevada, make some time to check out the museum in the Visitor/Welcome Center you won’t be disappointed.
Once we left the Visitor Center, we headed to our overnight stop in Salt Lake City at the Journey KOA. I have to say I was very impressed with our first stay at a KOA after 4 yrs. of traveling. Even though it was a very short stay it gave us good feels and it’s a really good place to stop and visit the city. It’s a little pricy, but hey it’s a KOA so its expected. The short stay in SLC was pretty chill for the most part, we had dinner, drove around the city a little, made a stop at the State Capital building which was really cool before heading back to the KOA where we rested for the evening before we pushed our way up to Bryce Canyon. At some point I will post about the stop in Salt Lake City, we found a couple really interesting points of interest there.
We rolled out of Salt Lake City and headed to Bryce Canyon the next day. The drive to Bryce was pretty uneventful, but very scenic. We had our midpoint stop as usual at a truck rest area and then headed to Bryce Canyon Pines Campground which is approx. 15 min from the Entrance of Bryce Canyon. We checked in, parked the rig, unhitched and setup the rig. After we got all set up, we hoped back in the truck and headed into the park just before sunset to and saw a little of what we would explore over the next three days there. Bryce should definitely be put on your list of destinations to see for sure.
The following pictures are of the drive to Bryce. The next post will be us at Bryce Canyon NP. — with Tessie Faustino-Jones.
