More pictures!

After Canyonlands, we decided it was time for, you guessed it, more canyons. We headed to Bryce Canyon and after looking over the edge for a while decided it was time to hike into one of these puppies.

Oooh, Aaaah...

We hopped back in the car and took off for Zion National Park. We picked the hiking trail with the prettiest name and headed to Emerald Pools.

I know, right?!


Wildlife!

The sun was starting to set, and the campgrounds were all full, so we decided to try to find a motel. But once we got out of Springdale, we realized there wouldn't be another town for quite some time. Rather than turning around, we decided to keep driving... to Las Vegas.

After a night drive through the desert, we arrived in fabulous Las Vegas. We checked out the casinos, took advantage of an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet, and enjoyed the general weirdness of the city that only takes disco naps.
Vegas, baby.

Once in Las Vegas, we realized that we were only hours from California, so we bumped some Tupac and hit the dusty road. Though we hate to see our gas mileage go down, Death Valley finally forced us to use our air conditioning as we drove through scenic, but brutally hot desert.
Desert!

After some maneuvering of L.A. traffic, we made to to Ron and Chan's house in Eagle Rock and watched the film noir classic "Double Indemnity." We've since been having a great time in L.A. We'll tell you all about it later!

We hit the coast!
