Day 11: Bryce to Hanksville, UT

Inspiration Point
Awoke to another cold morning so we revelled in the coziness and warmth of our tent. By that time, all of us were used to sleeping in a tent, but climbing out of a warm sleeping bag never gets easier. As per usual morning routine, we hauled out kitchen gear and supplies to make breakfast, which consisted of oatmeal, banana and fresh brewed coffee. While I set up breakfast, it is Eric and Mere who disassemble the tent and organize the car.

Today was relatively low-key, since we are driving to Arches National Park, about a 4 and a half hour trip west. We decided we had enough time to do an early morning hike before leaving Bryce - so picked the West Rim Trail. It runs deep into the canyon, a quiet and easy stroll this morning, as we made our way further into the Dr. Seuss-like, orange sherbet colored wonderland.

Gorgeous canyon -- we couldn't help pulling over for a little look-see
