Wow. Great country. Day 1 to St. George Utah. Day 2--drove to Kodachrome Basin and got a campsite. Incredible scenery and great campground. Clean, somewhat private (space 3) with our own little hoodoo, and FREE warm showers. Biked the Panorama Trail and Grand Palace Trail (Panorama Trail a VERY nice bike ride, don't miss it!) Just a little windy overnight, then next day hike to Shakespeare Arch and Sentinal Rock. THEN, an incredible hike (6 miles round trip, fairly easy hiking except sandy) to lower Calf Creek Falls. (I'll post video). The whole hike was like being in a grand Cathedral (Happy Easter!) Dinner in Escalante (The Outfitters), then a deer hit us (we both seemed okay, he like attacked from behind...took off rear view mirror, bashed in door, will open a little). This AM drove out for a hike through Cottonwood Narrows (gorgeous) with a stop on the way back at Grosvenor Arch (gorgeous as well). Started raining, headed towards Bryce, got a motel room at the Best Western, now it's SNOWING and BLOWING like heck. We're expecting 4 inches or so...time to settle in, watch NCAA finals, eat, drink and be merry (and warm). For photo album of trip, see my Facebook. Cheers!
