Bryce is special due to it's unique erosion pattern. The park is about 25 mile in length (one road with short branches). The Ruby Inn at the entrance was a Best Western the last time we were here. Today it is everything a traveler needs out in the middle of nowhere (motel, lodge, cabins, tepee tents, RV park, auto and truck service, trinkets, grocery (a box of Kraft macaroni $2.95), clothes, laundry, restaurant, rocks, etc., etc. Quite a gold mine. That's why I'm staying down the mountain in Little Podunk. The Park Service now has an optional shuttle covering the lower 1/4 of the park. We took the Squirrel and hit the upper 3/4, high ground, today (around 9,000'). We will get to the shuttle later this week. We saw deer, pronghorn, and some recent fire damage; and the high elevation evergreens mixed with the light sandstone is very nice.
