The next day we put our camper down early but left it and drove to the Grand Canyon.
On the way we admired the forest fire. Foreshadowing?

Then, the canyon. I must admit I was curious after seeing the movie entitled
Grand Canyon. Would it be as peaceful as portrayed in the movie?

It was amazing, but I think I already had a good appreciation for God's creation.
We took the quick drive back to pick up our camper, and headed to Zion! I think this was our favorite canyon park. The drive into the canyon through the narrow tunnel, the switchbacks to the canyon floor, We ate lunch by a stream near the visitors center, then hiked and took a tour bus to several stops.

From Zion we headed to a campground near Bryce /Canyon where we again met my Dad and sister. Construction was being done on the road into Bryce, so we were much later than planned (basically vehicles waited a half an hour coming and going as a pilot truck took trips back and forth). A great family meal and we fell to bed exhausted -- what a day.
