Visit to Bryce Canyon, Red Canyon, Willis Creek and Cove Fort

For the last week we had a wonderful visit from Nery's sister Liza and Nami one of her english students from Japan and our nieces Abby and Emily. We took them on a trip to southern Utah. On the way we visited Historic Cove Fort, then on to Panguitch where we stayed during our visit. That evening we hiked Red Canyon which is on the way to Bryce. Tuesday we spent the day at Bryce Canyon and hiked the Bristle-cone Loop and saw some wonderful vistas and the Bristle-cone pines which are some of the oldest living things on earth. Some of them are over 1000 years old. We stopped at all of the view points and took pictures. Wednesday we drove down though Tropic and Connonville Utah to the Grand Staircase National Monument and hiked the Narrows/Slot Canyons of Willis Creek. to see our pictures please check out our photo album on Picasa.
