Utah trip part 2, National Parks

As I was saying.
We left Circleville and drove to Panguitch, Utah, where we had lunch and explored Main Street.


Fantastic!
Cowboy's Smokehouse Cafe, right there on the corner. That's where we had lunch. Very good.

Then we drove to Bryce Canyon and Ruby's inn.




Everybody loves Bryce. Lots of people. Lots of people visiting from Europe.
We didn't stay long.
We wanted to drive down Highway 12.




It's a beautiful ride. I highly recommend it.
Shortly before you get to Boulder, Utah, You have the opportunity to hike to Calf Creek Falls.
It's a great experience. It's three miles to the falls, and three miles back to the parking lot, so be ready!




Utah trip, part one. Highway 12.

I see that it's been a long time since I posted here.
Well, here's a good one.
Over the last two weeks, my wife and I have explored Southern Utah. We started by having dinner at Mom's Cafe in Salina, Utah.



Then we spent the night at the Days Inn, Richfield Utah,


Very nice.

In the morning, we drove to The Big Rock Candy Mountain. 





That was lots of fun. Brings back fond memories of stopping there with my grandparents when I was a kid. Julie and I talked about camping here in one of their cabins, and seeing if our family would join us.

Then we headed to Circleville, Utah, to see the home of Butch Cassidy. 



This is actually the home that Max Parker built. He was Robert Leroy Parker's father. When this house was built, Robert had already left Circleville to become Butch Cassidy, the outlaw.

Here's the homestead where Butch was raised. It's about two miles south of town.
