Hanksville, Utah

We toured the entire length of Bryce Canyon National Park southwards to Rainbow point and did one more short hike to another lookout.  All spectacular.  The weather is perfect, about 20 degrees C

By the way, you can click on a picture to enlarge it (at least it works on my lappy).

We left Bryce and headed eastwards along Highway 12 and then 24, passing through Grand Stair Case-Escalante and Capitol Reef National Park.  We had planned to stay at Capitol Reef but it was full so carried on to Hanksville.  The landscape has had many variations, formations and colours.  Also slick rock made us think of Graeme and his mountain biking - he'd have loved some of these landscapes.  Actually many bicyclists and motorcylists and a gazillion RVs on the road.   Here in Hanksville, it was 32 degrees C and really dry and windy.  The best part was finding this lovely campsite Duke's Slickrock Campground and RV - really nice with Duke's grill providing a great dinner.  We're plugged in, have great wifi and air conditioning.  Life is good.  As Laurie says, anything named Slick can't be bad!
