We spent 3 nights camping at Richfield KOA on Memorial Weekend. We had a lot of fun doing things together as a family and went to see some new places. On our first day we went to Bryce Canyon National Park.

Bryce Canyon, famous for its worldly unique geology, consists of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The erosional force of frost-wedging and the dissolving power of rainwater have shaped the colorful limestone rock of the Claron Formation into bizarre shapes, including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called "hoodoos".

On our way our from Bryce Canyon we stopped at the Red Canyon. Red Canyon is located along Scenic Byway 12, just 9 miles from Bryce Canyon. Passing through it is required to get to Bryce Canyon National Park from the west.


  The kids  love seeing a lot of places.
