Day 3 -- Cedar City to Salt Lake City

Left Cedar City for Cedar Breaks Monument. As luck would have it, I arrived before they began charging for entrance (only by about five minutes) so I didn't have to pay. This was one of the few times in my recent memory that I was glad someone works by their time clock. This place is beautiful!!! When I left, people were lined up to pay their fees. There was also a group of people there who were attending an orientation to be guides. On now to Bryce Canyon.

WOW -- this is a must see for all. Even before arriving at the park, the canyons are breathtaking. I stopped off at MANY places but because of all the stops/starts, the gas gauge was going down faster than it should. So...out of the canyon and onto Salt Lake.

I originally planned to arrive around three. A lot of driving through small towns cuts down travel time significantly. By the time I found the hotel...actually an apartment complex that rents its studios for nightly fees...and got checked in, it was seven. I was too tired to find my way to the Temple so this will have to wait for another visit.

What I learned today: Satellite service does not work in the canyons and those driving LARGE RVs should not park in spaces for cars. This RV crunched a truck that was parked behind it. Not happy campers.
