After spending some time in Rexburg, Idaho doing day trips to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National parks. We headed south and spent a night on the north end of Salt Lake City. Traveling through Salt Lake during morning rush hour isn't fun especially with the freeway torn up for 30 miles. We ended up close to the crossroads of hwy 89 and hwy 12 south of Panguitch, Utah. We spent a week there exploring Bryce National Park, Red Rock Canyon and the highway 12 scenic byway.
So much beautiful red rock everywhere in the coolest shapes. We got to see our first "flash flood". There was a dry creek bed that followed alongside the highway. At least it was dry when we went to the park but on the way back it was a roaring river of water. A real "gully washer" -- very dangerous. Amazingly just a few hours later and the whole thing was dry again.
This area is close to 5 national parks so it is very popular for foreign tourists. Many of them rent small RV's to see the parks. Its amazing --and scary-- anyone can drive an RV of any size without any special license.
We are now in Kanab, Utah a little farther south and on our way to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
