UT Route 12 Scenic Drive

We took the day off and drove down UT Route 12 which is classified as one of the scenic drives in this state. We drove all the way down to Boulder which is about 75 miles from Bryce Canyon. The geological landscape seemed to change every few miles along this route. There are many geological time periods visible along this route. We stopped at an old gas station in Boulder to rest before we headed back to Bryce Canyon.

Our Site at Sunset Campground

We arrived at Bryce Canyon yesterday afternoon and started to set up camp at host site #1 at Sunset Campground. This is our first duty day as campground hosts at Sunset Campground. We met with Virginia early in the morning and she issued us our NPS uniforms and gave us a big box of forms and equipment that we would need to do our job here, We also we issued park radios and instructed on their proper use. We opened up Loop A of Sunset Campground at about 7 PM.

We left our home in Fort Worth early today for Bryce Canyon. We are staying the night at the same campground in Tucumcari, New Mexico as we did last year. Tomorrow we will stay at a KOA in Flagstaff, Arizona. We should arrive at Bryce Canyon National Park two days from now.
