So, let’s go. On to Bryce Canyon. Not seen 30 years ago, but probably a must for any Southwest tour.

On the way a side trip to St. George to see “The Church of Jesus Christ”. It’s not as big as in Salt Lake City, but it’s on the way.

Shortly after the mountains at the crossing of Arizona’s northwest tip, the sky on the horizon gets darker. Thunderstorms. On the Weather Channel they had reported that Utah, Arizona and parts of New Mexico were experiencing a fall of the century. Rain, thunderstorms, storms, you name it.

In St. George there is still a little sun to be seen. Arrived at the Mormon Temple, it is also over with it.

St. George

Nevertheless impressive building.

Through Zion National Park it should go to Bryce Canyon. If not a longer stay, then at least drive through on the “Zion Mount Carmel Highway”. A few miles before the Visitor Center it starts to rain. No, it is not actually rain. Someone must be dumping buckets of water. Should the three in Las Vegas be right after all?

So in the rain to Bryce. Maybe it will be better tomorrow… That will probably be a pious hope. We can write Bryce off. The nice young lady at the reception smiled and said 80% precipitation means it will stay like today. For a short time they would have even announced snow!!! OK, WAIT AND SEE…

P.S.: In Northern Nevada it snowed today, reports the Weather Channel, and the pictures from Phoenix look scary…. It’s supposed to get better or sunny again starting Thursday.
