And my girl (pickup) isn't used to 80...nor do her drivers like to go that fast. But we did a respectable 75...LOL. We were passed by everyone...including trucks and U-Hauls...except for others from out of state.

"Along the Navajo Trail" (my favorite cowboy's song...Roy Rogers)...This was our favorite part of Bryce Canyon National Park...the Navajo Trail.
Click on the picture to make it large, and you will see all the switchbacks, we took to get halfway down.
And this is the bottom half of those switchbacks. I'm the one waving the blue baseball cap.
The bottom...this is called 'Wall Street', and yes, it is a geocache. The trail was only about 2 miles long, but the scenery was quite diverse. I think my favorite areas were the pockets of pine, aspen and juniper trees...beautiful!
"End of Trail"...my wish, but I still had to do a set of switchbacks to the top. Boy oh boy, I have a terrible time climbing at high altitudes...just run out of breath...whew! Do you see the two rock bridges? They are both cracked so won't be there in a few years.
This was about a three hour drive from our private park in Hurricane, UT, because we took the most beautiful scenic drive (Hwy 14). All along the way the aspen were turning every shade from green, yellow and red.
About twenty years ago we drove up the east side of this road to camp in a cool spot in the summer. We were with friends and had been camping in our boats at Lake Powell. Now we know...we ascended an 8% grade to get to our Lil' Duck campground...but it was beautiful and cool.
Coming back we took the freeway. That took about half the time as going over.
