Day 60 - Bryce Canyon National Park and a hell of a drive over Boulder Pass

When we woke up Sunday morning the sun was out and the weather forecast was favorable so we headed back over the mountains we drove over the day before and then drove about 35 miles to Bryce Canyon NP. At Bryce Canyon there is only 1 road you can follow and it is a dead end so you have to drive it round trip. We only stopped to view the overlooks on the way back. I took a lot of photos and 1 video. The video says it all. It has just about the most colorful and dramatic scenery you can imagine. Below is a link to the video.

Leaving Bryce Canyon about 3:30PM we headed in the direction of Capitol Reef National Park along the highway UT-12. This road is a National Scenic By-way. It was a spectacular drive that included driving over Boulder Mountain Pass at 10,000 ft in a blinding snow storm crossing at the pass over a roadway barely 30 ft wide with 1500 foot drops on each side and NO GUARD RAILS with a frightened wife and 2 sleeping dogs. When  we reach a small town at the junction of UT-12 and UT-24 we camped for the night. No photos or videos because we couldn't see more than 50 feet in front of us and we were too scared to think about pictures. That made 2 storms in 2 days over 2 mountains. I hope that is the last I see of snow in mountain passes in storms in my lifetime.
