Day Three of our National Parks Tour takes us to two National Parks and one National Monument, where we ride above 10,000 feet for the first time (that was the plan anyway). That’s not very high in a Boeing airplane, but it’s quite exciting on two wheels.
We pass through Zion National Park, try to visit Cedar Breaks National Monument, and Bryce Canyon National Park – home of the hoodoos. Along the way, we encountered snow, twice, and even some rain.
Below, you’ll find today’s Photos-of-the-Day (PODs).

And now, today’s “Previous Blog Trivia Question:”
Q: How did Bryce Canyon get its name?
A: The Mormon Church sent Scottish immigrant Ebenezer Bryce and his wife Mary Ann to settle land in the area, because they thought his carpentry skils would be helpful.
Q: For extra credit – how many children did Ebenezer and Mary Ann Bryce have?
A: 12, an even dozen.

Gotta go.
Vroom, Vroom.
