Hwy 14 - Canyonlands

After a grueling late night of travel and waking up early in an undisclosed location, we decided to see the other end of Zion National Park since we were heading right by it and we had enjoyed the other part so much.
Well, really we went because we heard that giant pieces of candy corn were falling from the sky there.

Driving along scenic Hwy 14 in Utah in Red Canyon

Looking to avoid these things too!
Do these signs ever end? 
And has anyone really ever hit a horse here?
Because so many people said they loved Bryce Canyon
we decided to go there too.
It is truly amazing and completely unique in its landscape.


Those of us with proper shoes on decided to hike down to the bottom of the canyon.


It was certainly worthwhile and a stunning view from everywhere.


Almost done guys!


After Bryce along the same highway, we drove through Escalante.
All of the different colors were brilliant.



Yes, more cows on the road.
 

And as we climbed another mountain, we encounter more snow!

Breathtaking panoramic views.

We were astounded by how quickly the lansdscape changed along the route.
I think that house is a bit too close to danger. 
Even I can see that!

 
Capital Reef is toward the end road

There we got to see some fabulous petroglyphs. 



The rest of the drive was candy for our eyes as well.
