Day 44 - 42.13 Miles
Tony Treated to Another Amazing Day
Panguitch Lake, UT
After a few miles of riding, we hopped off the bikes to take the "free" shuttle into Bryce Canyon that came with our $10 admission fee. We walked along the Rim Trail and had spectacular views of the Hoodoos, natural formations caused by errosion of the layered cliff walls that are sometimes compared to chess pieces. The colors were spectacular, we often saw natural rock arches, and even some boulders that appeared to be balanced precariously on top of much thinner bases. From Bryce, we rode through the Red Canyon - with more incredible views of rock formations and a couple of rock arches over the road - on a smooth bike path without having to worry about any traffic. From the town of Panguich, where we ate lunch at Hogi Yogi and Austin needed to change a worn down tire, we started climbing up to Panguitch Lake. On one of the few little downhills, Tony's front tire blew out. With a couple of MacGyver-like fixes, we got him rolling again so we could get to the lake with some time to fish before dinner.

Bryce Canyon must be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Glad you got to see it.
