The Drive to Bryce Canyon NP

Dan suggested a route between Natural Bridges NM and Bryce Canyon NP, that has to be the most incredible drive I have done to date. The drive itself leads you from Natural Bridges through the Canyon Lands NP, Capitol Reef NP, Dixie National Forest, Grand Staircase - Escalante NM, and into Bryce Canyon NP.

One of the things that makes Utah such an great state is the fact that you can drive 50 miles and watch the landscape change so dramatically from one park to the next. The entire drive I found myself watching the land more than the road.

One of the wildest parts of the ride is along the Grand Staircase where they take you between to valleys at the top of the ridge. There is a short section where you are driving on a two lane road with huge cliffs on either side of the road. I definitely wouldn't want to drive that stretch in the winter. Funny thing is up until this point I have been seeing signs all over about drinking and driving, but was unable to find any signs on this stretch of the road. Wonder if they figure the problem takes care of itself.
