Why we went
We were redesigning our Canyon Country tour and wanted to drive every mile of it ourselves before asking anyone else to.
The highlights
Sunrise at Bryce was colder and better than we expected. Capitol Reef surprised all of us: fewer people, fresh pie at the Gifford Homestead and petroglyphs right by the road.
At the desert camp, someone turned off the last lantern and nobody spoke for a full minute.
What we changed
We added a second night at Capitol Reef and moved Arches to the end of the trip, so you finish on a high.
