Escalante - Escalating Awe

The drive from Blanding to Escalante, UT was spectacular.  Unexpectedly, we spent a lot of the day in Natural Bridges National Monument - hiking to the canyon floor to check out the bridges from below.  Then, on through Capital Reef  to the Escalante/Grand Staircase Wilderness.  Every mile of driving is a different vista.  We've landed at a really comfy B&B in this tiny town and it feels like we could stay here for a while...

We hiked to the canyon floor - very steep with steps hacked out of the canyon wall.
