Dixie National Forest / Bryce Canyon / Capitol Reef

In between Zion and Bryce I escaped the crowds for a couple of days in the quiet and peaceful Dixie National Forest, which is a hidden gem. Full of lakes and bike trails.






also in the forest is Cedar Breaks National Monument which is pretty cool




Now on to Bryce! A magical hoodoo wonderland.














you can see the Fairyland Loop trail snaking down into the canyon. great 8 mile hike.

Stayed a night at Capitol Reef National Park. Super cool! Did a couple little canyon hikes and some biking. Wild rock formations...what's new













I'm now in Moab and will stay here for at least a few days... Lots to explore with Arches on one side and Canyonlands on the other! I've set up camp right on the Colorado River.
