Bryce Canyon & Rte 12

Day 5: We started the day with a hike to Mossy Cave which was a few miles from where we were staying in Tropic, UT. The .4 mile walk led us to a waterfall and a mossy cave. From there, we drove to Bryce Canyon and took the Queen and Navajo Trails through the hudoos for about two hours. Thereafter, we took a drive down the scenic "All-American Road" Route 12 with its every changing scenery along a narrow and curving one lane road that twists and turns through and around the mountains. It was both one of the funnest and scariest drives we've ever taken. At one point, the road cut through the top of a mountain so we could see the drop on either side (with no guard rails!), going fifteen miles per hour. Once we hit the end of Route 12, we did not have time to check out the nearby park because we wanted to get back before dark. We returned, had dinner, and then went to Bryce to catch the sunset. We head to Flagstaff tomorrow for our return flight the following day.
