Bryce UTV Adventure!

What a day of fun!  There is nothing like spending the day off the beaten path!  We spent the day exploring Dixie National Forest on the edge of  Bryce Canyon National Park on a UTV.  We knew that there were ATV/UTV trails, but had no idea there is an entire road system with numbers and junctions….duh….makes sense.  We traveled on the Paunsaugunt Plateau Trail System.  We rented the UTV from Bryce Wildlife Outfitters and we highly recommend them; they were informative, supplied well marked maps and explained the area in detail.  Our first stop was Bristlecone Point.  The term Bristlecone covers 3…

Bryce, eBikes, hiking and the Rodeo!

We spent the day in Bryce Canyon riding eBikes, hiking and spent the evening at the Rodeo!  We rented eBikes from “Outta Here eBikes located on Route 12 about a mile from Bryce.  The rental process was easy and off we went!  The bikes were Rad Power eBikes.  They were “pedal assist” with 4 levels of assistance.  They were remarkably easy to ride and most of all FUN!  We rode through Red Canyon on the paved bike route.  A beautiful area.  We had rented the bikes for 8 hours but the seats were truly the hardest bike seats I have…

Hole in the Rock Overnight

Kayaking Horseshoe Bend

In 2014 Carol and I rafted 8 days and 277 miles of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.  We fell in love with the Grand Canyon and the Southwest.  It sounds absurd, maybe, but the raft trip changed our lives.  It changed us because we now seek out adventure and we are not fearful! Most all adventures on the Colorado below Glen Canyon Dam start at Lee’s Ferry just upriver from the Navajo Bridge.  Both of our adventures have started at Lee’s Ferry.   When we arrived, 2 hours early, we had a rush of memories of our 8…
