National Parks Tour - Update 1

Guten Tag meine freunden :) I am logging in from Salt Lake City, Utah on our rest stop in the middle of our summer vacation tour. This will probably be the only update before the end of our road trip; time is of essence so I shall keep this update as brief as possible.

After a long drive to Las Vegas, we reached there after midnight and met up with App who had flown from Chicago. We crossed into Nevada around the same time as Arjun completed 25 years of his existence. We wished him a happy birthday and celebrated by eating a hearty buffet at the Paris hotel.

The next day we drove to Zion national park and decided to spend the night there. After camping there, we hiked a little through "the narrows" and stopped at weeping rock before continuing on our journey to the north rim of the grand canyon. It was much cooler there than at Zion. We were pleasantly surpised by the excellent weather and green cover everywhere. We set up camp again.

The next day we walked down the North Kaibab trail to Supai Tunnel, a short hike that gave us a taste of how tough canyon hikes can be. It was hot on the trail. After lunch we did the scenic drive and experienced some awesome views of the grand canyon. We watched sunset at Cape Royal.

The next day we set out to Bryce Canyon where the hoodoos captivated all of us. It was meant to be a short drive through the park but we ended up spending more time and even walking down to some of the hoodoos on the Navajo Loop trail. It was a lot of fun even though we were kind of tired from our long day. We arrived here at Salt Lake late in the night.

We are now off to Yellowstone, more details and pictures here later. Hope all is well with everyone, have a good week!!
