A Long Ride

I stayed in Escalante Friday night and headed west toward Bryce Canyon and Zion Saturday morning. Visiting so many national parks in a row is interesting. It's a mixture of sublime natural beauty and the world's worst traffic jam. I've never seen such bad driving, probably because the parks assemble the perfect storm of technical roads, monstrous vehicles, geriatric and/or foreign drivers, road construction and distractingly beautiful scenery. You go around a corner and you don't know if you'll have a immense valley or an immense RV right in front of you.



The image below is my first attempt at stitching several photos into a panorama. Click here for a very large image.



The roads, rocks, hills, mountains... everything is red.
