United States 2005

Arrival in the evening at Bryce Canyon Park. Once again, we are bluffed by what we see! Not one park we have done resembles another. This one offers us its orange, red and yellow sandstone needles, which erosion has formed over time.

PANORAMIC SUNSET POINT (evening)

Night at Sunset camping with masterful demonstration of the installation (throw) of our tent ;-)

It's the famous decathlon Quechua 2 seconds. Brilliant!!! Although a bit small, it saves us a crazy amount of time!!! Barely has our neighbor taken out a stake that our tent is already set up!!!

PANORAMIC SUNSET POINT (morning)

Start of the hike (Navajo loop and Queens Garden Trail, 4.6 km) which will take us all the way down amidst the rock needles

Cuckoo!! for those who wouldn't have recognized me, it's me!!! (yes yes, anyway it's my bucket hat...);

PANORAMIC

Magnificent orange and white dunes at the end of the Queens Garden hike... Really superb!!!

PANORAMIC SUNRISE POINT

Small rodents chase us everywhere since the beginning of the trip... Here it is a "golden-mantled ground squirrel" ( Spermophilus lateralis ) doing its shopping...

Natural Bridge

PANORAMIC BRYCE POINT

Departure for Las Vegas... No no, we haven't swapped our Toyota for this gigantic camper van towing a Pickup... It's just to remind me how oversized everything is in the United States...

Before joining Interstate 15, two magnificent large-eared does ("mule deer", Odocoileus hemionus) greet us.
