SIDE BY SIDE

This day was packed with adventures. My adventure included lots of pine trees and a very fast chipmunk. The humans weren't content just exploring the campground so they went off this morning for an ATV adventure. Across the street from Ruby's Inn is an ATV rental company where they were able to rent side by sides for an adventure at the rim of Bryce Canyon. The guided tour lasted about an hour and a half, but there was a history lesson before they could get started. Bryce canyon is over 30 million year old and was once completely under water. They really enjoyed the ride. They flew up and down on some really rough trails, and my Kathe had her eyes open most of the time. 

Along the trail they saw several herd of cattle including some Long Horns. There were even about a dozen pronghorn antelope hidden in the pine trees on the side of the trail.

Later, after lunch, it was time for some more adventure. First, they drove to Moss Cave for a little hike and some outstanding views of the red rocks. The trail was only about a mile but it was all uphill at an altitude of over 7000 feet. There wasn't much water in the cave when they got to the top, but it was cool with the moss dripping water from above.

Next, they drove to Kodachrome  Basin State Park to see the unusual formations of the red rocks. The Park has a small campground, and the colorful rocks reminded them of Arches National Park. Really beautiful. Maybe someday we can go back and camp there.
