That is some dry country. No doubt getting toasty too.
Better to be there now than in the coming weeks

My wife and I visited in March during my Residency many years ago. It was 95 in March. Spent a week at Big Bend National Park the same year. I volunteerd at the Smokey Mountain National Park as well. Drove through a sandstorm on the Navajo Reservation. Lots to see in America.

One more - this is just north of Arches National Park, literally standing next to the fence. Looking south towards Delicate Arch in the distance.

For the photography geeks, it is a multi-shot composite pano (21 shots) using the RF 100-400mm lens at 100mm, merged in Photoshop. Original file is 29,000 11,000 pixels and 8.9gb

Certainly not the best choice for a wide landscape shot, but only lens I had with me at the time so I made it work.

I hope that you made the short drive down to Zion NP while visiting Bryce! Well worth the drive and beautiful. My advice to visitors is to stay at the lodges whenever possible. Great views and you can walk to some trails and also hop on the trolly without bothering with your car and parking!

Beautiful pictures. The toilet warning is for Asians that a used to using squatters. I saw it a lot when I lived there. Even on western toilets you would see feet prints on the lid in public places.
