The Great Western Trip 2018: Bryce Canyon (Day 1)

On Sunday, we drove from Draper to Bryce (about 4 hours), stopping along the way at the entrance to the Dixie National Forest for a short hike:








When we got to Bryce it was raining, so we relaxed a little in the lodge and had dinner before heading out to see the scenic viewpoints closer to sunset:


View from Sunset Point, which was just outside our lodge




Our first glimpse of wildlife -- female pronghorn antelope and baby
