Early Morning

Lila and I woke up this morning at 5:30, got dressed quickly, and drove out to watch the sunrise over Bryce Canyon... It was amazing. The rocks were impressive looking enough in the dim light before the sun climbed above some of the mesas of the Colorado Plateau, but once the sun peaked through, the Canyon looked as if it was on fire!

Naturally, I took many photographs, none of which have made it to the web yet as I didn't bring my own laptop... all these posts have been through kiosks at hotels.

After a short breakfast, we are going back to the Canyon to do a hike, the 1.4 mile Navajo loop, which will bring us down into the canyon. The trail winds around hoodoos, arches, windows, and natural bridges.

Then, we'll clean out the car a bit (We already shipped home two giant boxes, just to lighten our load for the return trip) and drive to Las Vegas. En route, we'll cross out of the Mountain Time Zone and into the Pacific Time Zone, gaining an hour. One more hour to gamble and live it up in Las Vegas! We are going to a Cirque du Soleil show as well as eating dinner at Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill.
