Day 11: we drive 261-miles from Las Vegas to Bryce Canyon (Nevada to Utah via Arizona) exploring Zion Canyon on the way

Zion National Park contains nearly 147,000-acres of colourful canyons and mesas formed through thousands of years of erosion by wind, rain, freezing, and the persistent force of the Virgin River

The Great White Throne and Checkerboard Mesa

The Sentinel (7,157-feet)

After passing through Red Rock Canyon (left), we arrive at Bryce Canyon National Park in the early evening and soon settle into our accommodation in the park's rustic lodges (below) before dining at the Bryce Canyon Lodge
