Yesterday and today were great rides! First, I finally got to ride my new bike on a real ride and it worked great. Plus, the scenery was fabulous.
Yesterday we rode from Panguitch Lake to Bryce Canyon National Park, UT. The ride was short (only 40 miles) but through some of the most beautiful country you'll ever see. Panguitch Lake itself is lovely (it is supposedly one of the top 10 fishing lakes in the USA). Some other RV's sent us off with "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" playing on the loudspeaker! Before too long we were in Red Canyon; a spectacularly beautiful canyon that should be seen on a bike because you go through it slowly. As an added benefit there is a 5 mile dedicated bike/pedestrian path that parallels the highway so you can enjoy the scenery without being distracted by cars and trucks passing sometimes too close - we could really relax and absorb the beautfy of the place.

After leaving Red Canyon we were soon at Ruby's RV Park adjacent to Bryce Canyon National Park. Steve and I decided to hike down into the Canyon, which of course meant we had to hike back up - not an easy task, but well worth the effort!

Today we had a beautiful ride through the Grand Staircase - Escalante. This was another short day (47 miles) but a bit harder than yesterday. There was a climb in the middle that was short but very steep. However, we had two good descents, so that made up for the climb.
