So they have open ranges out here. Cows be roaming.

Also-yes to this shirt.

Tomorrow is Capital Reef. Our last National Park.

I'm now in love. 53 Parks. 5 down...time to plan the next ones!

The terrain changes in an instant out here. It's so refreshing and keeps things interesting. Temperature rises and lowers over mountains-just wild in my opinion.

We went from sandy white with no trees to a forest with aspen trees.

The second picture is Hwy 12. Holy cow y'all. I'm not even kidding. We were driving on the top ridge of a mountain with nothing but cliffs on both sides.

The last picture is where I tried to capture it all. In the far off you see the red rocks, white sandstone and forest we were in. God is amazing. His creation is something to be in awe over.

After doing the trail we went back and got our car. Then drove to the top and stopped at overlooks in the way down.

We were beat.

The walk back up wasn't as fun for all, but it had more amazing creations.

This hike was the longest of the day so we took our time enjoying the scenes. The girls climbed a few times and got stuck a few times.

ECV began melting close to half way through. Demanded lunch and shade. She was yelling stop as I took this picture. I think it's funny.

Another chipmunk posing for us. It kept us entertained while we sat and ate.

Loved this hike!

I am so glad we chose this path versus the one that was .1 shorter. It was gorgeous! Paths that had hairpin turns all the way to the bottom. Where you found shade and much cooler temperatures.

I took a picture from the bottom of what we walked.

We also ran across a few chipmunks. This little guy was super photogenic. He struck a few poses while all the crazy humans laughed and took pictures.

Right before we chose the Navajo Loop Trail.

Views for days.

That would be my family walking along a path with cliffs on both sides.

We walked the Rim Trail to Inspirational Point, then on to Sunset and Sunrise Points. Many pictures to follow.

The girls found a "floating tree" - totally made up name.

And these hikes were tiring today. Especially after several days of hiking.

You could ride and use the bus for each stop or you could use connecting hikes. They weren't terribly long and they let you have great views. This is another reason you don't want to drive your car through Bryce Amphitheater.

We took the Rim Trail and saw lots of Hoodoos and some windows. If you look Sidney Kate is pointing one out.

Also cliffs. As ECV says "clifts".
