Day 16 - June 21st & Day 17 June 22nd

Upon leaving Lake Powell we encountered a cowboy driving his cattle to another area.  Each cow had a calf.  How cute this was!  The cowboy rode next to us for a few minutes and talked to Blake.  This was one of my highlights of the trip.  

One of the roads we went on was 33 miles long.  The last 4 miles were at a 10% grade with switchbacks on gravel.  Some of it a single lane.  At one point Blake had to back the motor home up in order to make the turn.  If he mentioned a car coming the other way I nearly fainted.  

We arrived at Bryce.  What a beautiful place this was.
