Roadtrip - Day 19: Bryce Canyon
I've Been Through the Desert On A Horse With No Name ... (I have not found "I've been in Bryce Canyon was named Ruby Horse" )
It thus leaves to go to Zion Bryce Canyon :
We begin to see the rock formations of Bryce Canyon typical:
Another type of rock formation, not very natural this time!
A "flock" of bikers!
I really wanted to do at least once a horse, and Bryce Canyon is much more affordable than Monument Valley (and much nicer as we saw down in the canyon). So here we are well on mounts upright (fortunately because the only time I got on a horse was 15 years ago in the Camargue ...), accompanied by a "cowboy" very nice.
The descent of the canyon is quite impressive: the road is quite narrow and we often feel that the horse walking too close to the edge ... Fortunately you can have complete confidence in our horses who are very familiar way! And once past the first few minutes of adaptation to this new mode of travel, it's great: we do not really need to guide the horses as they are very well trained, and we therefore have ample time to admire The landscape is beautiful (our guide makes stops from time to time so that we can take some pictures because no question of leaving the unit when early!):
Bryce Canyon is actually not really a canyon but a series of amphitheaters. Geological structures is special Bryce are called hoodoos , they were formed by erosion due to wind, rain and frost.
is my trusty steed, Ruby. Ruby thank you for giving me walked for 2 hours without falling into the ravine!
And this is our cowboy guide:
After 2 hours of walking, we regretfully said goodbye to our horses and our guide, we take the car to see other points of view park. It's not just horses that roam the canyon, this is a chipmunk (such as Tic Tac , which are called in English Chip'n Dale I just saw, it's more fun in VO!):
Bryce Canyon lies between 2,400 and 2,700 meters above sea level, it has a breathtaking view!
The views are all different and all equally maginfiques:
Bryce Canyon was named after its "discoverer" Ebenezer Bryce, who would have thought that to describe this place: "it's a hell of a place to lose a cow"! (It's a dirty place to lose a cow). It's not true!
We decide to go down anyway, we try not to get lost!
One has the impression of being in a fantasy world, a kind of huge fortress for giants ...
is unclear how that holds more ...
is already the hour of sunset, the clouds are tinted pink:
It's time to leave (still hard ...).
And we find ourselves once again on the road at dusk in search of a haven for our tent, but head full of images that will not fade anytime soon!
