John's Comments
This morning drive was quite pleasant, even allowing a stop-over at the northern section of Zion National Park. Scenery was excellent, roads guite good and as one got closer to Bryce Canyon the upcoming rock formations became evident.


John`s Recollections
The drive between these two major National Parks ( Bryce & Zion ) has some very pleasant scenery and should not be missed. In one area between Cedar City and the road going north to Bryce, however, there is a very extensive area that shows the damage caused by acid rain. Overall, the landscape has many traces of both National Parks even when there is a remarkable difference between the two.
