Drive to Bryce National Park

This morning we left early even though we were having a light rain....More beautiful scenery as we drove from Hurricane to Bryce National Park.   Check for yourself....

We had light rain off and on all day but it worked out good since we were in and out of the car.  Today we had really cool weather.  The high was 76 and the low up at the top of the mountains was 56 at 9115 elevation.  Pretty cool!
