Day 2: Friday June 29, 2007

Our destination for today was Bryce Canyon with a stop along the way at Alta Ski Resort. Dan and Jake got to see a "real" mountain for snowboarding! The mountains were beautiful and we managed a quick hike before climbing back in the car. We arrived at Bryce Canyon in the early evening and drove into the park at dusk. The mountains here were breathtaking and we stayed in the park long enough to see the moon rise over the valley. What a view!
The mountains along Salt Lake City are huge!

A quick hike across from the ski resort. The wildflowers were beautiful.
The tunnels were built in the 1920's.
A view from the Rim Trail at dusk. It was amazing...

We saw the moon quickly rise at dusk over the canyon.
