Bryce, Utah to Grand Canyon Village, Arizona
278 Miles
Bryce was beautiful and in the middle of nowhere. Last night
we went to buy a newspaper at the general store. It is attached to a popular
hotel. Mom and I searched the store and could not find a newspaper anywhere, so
we asked a clerk. “We don’t get newspapers”, he replied. I thought he was
joking and laughed. But a clerk beside him said she had not seen a newspaper
since she arrived. We were truly in the middle of nowhere.
This morning we left for the Grand Canyon. The drive was all
desert and canyons. We drove over the Lake Powell Dam and the water was
extremely low. Today was our first interaction with a highway closure. Our GPS
isn’t always the most reliable. Google Maps is extremely trustworthy and told us
just were to go. It isn’t common to have an entire highway closed.
The Grand Canyon is breathtaking. It doesn’t even look real.
It very easily could be mistaken for a mural. The park itself is the largest we’ve
seen. It is huge. The best way to get around appears to be with the shuttle
buses. The shuttle system is very similar to the city with color lines and
directional flow.
We are staying at a campground within the park. This is our
first time staying inside a National Park and it is really nice. My blog posts
may be at different intervals throughout the next couple days. We have minimal
cell service at the campground, and the wifi is at a market nearby.
I can’t wait to start exploring the Grand Canyon tomorrow!
