Day 24: Page, Arizona to Bryce Canyon, National Park

We left Page and drove to Bitter Springs, AZ where we took a scenic alternate route through Marble Canyon and Lee's Ferry. Most interesting; beautiful red limestone cliffs; thousands of feet high. The bridge across the Colorado River at Lee's Ferry is about 400 feet above the river. One man fell to his death during the construction of it and four others quit the work after witnessing the fall into the river. There's a new bridge there now, built in 1995 but you can walk on the old bridge so we did. Then we drove through Fredonia, AZ and into Kanab, Utah. We drove through Zion National Park (twice) and then headed up to Bryce Canyon NP where we decided to stay inside the park at North Campground….about 7400 feet elevation. We did get to see a little of the main Bryce Canyon amphitheater at dusk. We turned in as the weather forecast was for rain showers to start sometime Monday AM and we were tired after a long day. Here are a few pictures.
