We left Springdale, Utah about nine o’clock and drove north again along Route 9. \u00a0The weather was clear and about 60 degrees. \u00a0The morning sun was at a great angle to take more photographs of the sandstone mountains around us. \u00a0We took more photos as we traveled north.<\/p>\n

Soon after we drove out of Zion National Park, the earth flattened and we drove through many miles of meadows and farmlands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Welcome To Brian Head<\/p>\n

We spent the night at Brian Head, Utah because every other decent hotel was sold out within a 50 mile radius of Bryce Canyon. \u00a0As we drove down the side of the mountain (elevation: 11,307 feet) we soon discovered that Brian Head is a ski resort “town.” \u00a0It was an alpine village with only ski hotels and condos, which were all closed for the summer season. \u00a0At the end of the road was the DoubleTree which held our reservation. \u00a0It seemed to be the only open establishment in town. \u00a0It was a charming knotty-pine ski chalet-type hotel. \u00a0A little weird for this time of year, but clean and comfortable for us. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
