top of the world

Ok so how do you know you are on the top of the world???? a) its down right freezing - UE better stay at lower altitudes - haha b) you can see over 120 miles c) there's no place left but down!!! It was a bit nippy here this morning (61 deg) when we left base camp but by the time we got to the top of Bryce Canyon's summit 9,100 some odd feet it was close to winter garb brrrr! I heard that last week it actually snowed in the highest elevations. This place is yet another natural wonder that leaves you speechless. Nearby forests and meadows stand in striking contrast to the intricately eroded rocks. The color of red clay mixed with vibrant pines and wild flowers have you stopping at every pull off. I sure hope that when we process the pictures they do it justice. This little town of Kanab is centrally located between 3 national parks... Zion, Bryce Canyon, and the Grand Canyon. Tomorrow we will be going to the North rim of the Grand Canyon. This is like nature in overload!!! Oh yes the upside of freezing....I have emptied some of the overstuffed saddlebags and my T-bag luggage.....I see room emerging - never too late to buy something expensive ahhhhh!!! The ever shopping flame and ain't got no room Big Dog!!
