Drive to Meteor Crater in Winslow, AZ

The drive to Meteor Crater passed by Lake Powell. These photos show that Lake Powell is more than 100 feet below prior levels.

Driving over Glen Canyon Dam which creates hydro electric power from the Colorado river before feeding Lake Powell

We went to an early dinner at the nearby Twin Arrow Casino and had a wonderful dinner at the below table in front of the fireplace. It was lovely and very quiet . Nice!

Beautiful sculpture on a parsons table in the restaurant entrance

 Bryce National Park was an amazing experience.  The sky was a little overcast which cooled the day a little.
I loved listening to people gasp when they first arrived at the rim. The sight was incredibly beautiful and unique.

There was a rim walk that was about 2+ miles long.Each direction you looked was a different spectacle and every time the sun or clouds changed positions so did the scenery.

Rainbow Point

Trail from Canyon rim to canyon floor. About 4 miles each way.

Bench to rest and view canyon on rim trail

Part of Bryce Canyon further East on the Rim

Agua Canyon

Looks like cities from a distance

Leaving Bryce on Scenic Rt 12

Almost there!

Still beautiful going down elevation

Lots of ranches and cows along the way.  These two young ones were having a little squabble!
