On we went to Red Canyon - everywhere you turn in this area you are surrounded by stunning natural landforms and Red Canyon was no exception.
We then went Rollin Rollin Rollin into Kanab, the little Hollywood, where a lot of the old western movies were made, including The Lone Ranger. Off we headed into an actual old movie set to make our own movie - yes you heard correctly! Everyone was given a character and off we went to shoot our scenes. We were Indians! The general plot was that some wild coyotes roamed and scared the town. A couple came out to do their day to day business and were attacked by Indians (us - we had to do an Indian dance) who were chased off by cowboy type people. Then some showgirls were drinking in a saloon and got hassled by a bad cowboy. The good cowboy came - they had a shootout and the bad cowboy was chased out of town - all on wooden horses! It was called 'How the West was Lost'. It was awesome to do and so funny - this guy on our trip made a brilliant good cowboy! We then had a cookout - oh my god the food was fab - a brisket with bbq sauce and traditional lemonade - it was soooooo nice. After, everyone was quite giddy, thigh slapping, shouting yehaaaa.
We then headed onto where we were staying for the night in Bryce then onto Bryce Canyon. We stopped at a number of points, Bryce, Inspiration and Sunset points, all of which were spectacular. Yet another breathtaking place that words can not do justice to. The hoodoos definitely cast a magic spell over those that visit, they are amazing. We walked along the rim from 8300m down to 8000m and the colours in the rock are beautiful. Yet again i went rock collecting.
We spent the night in Bryce - a very quaint western looking town staying at Ruby's Inn - kind of like a motel, very road trip! Next stop...VEGAS!!!
