May 29, 2013 Travel to Provo

We woke to a beautiful day, packed up and off we went on our way. 

We traveled north on SR-63, then west on SR-12 thru Red Canyon:

05-29-13 A SR-12 Bryce Canyon to US89 (4)

And the famous tunnel - There goes Andy and our rig - Smile

05-29-13 A SR-12 Bryce Canyon to US89 (13)

And finally, we headed north on US-89.  US-89 is a north-south route from Mexico to Canada and is sometimes called the National Parks Highway.  This highway links seven National Parks and fourteen other National Parks areas are reachable from this route.  We traveled on this road from its intersection with SR-12 to its intersection with US-189 in Provo and the scenery was awesome!  We passed a number of farms and ranches and also a number of little towns that warrant more exploring in the future.

Here are some pictures from the road:

Take a day trip to Sundance, stop and see Robert Redford (or "Bob" as the locals call him, then drive the Alpine Loop. I used to work in Provo, lots of memories.

Hi Sharon, I must admit - I did not do research on this area but will be back. Your suggestions are now on my list. Hope all is well and hugs to you and Don.
