Then we go trough Escalante State Park

1. This park looks as modeled from one rock (monolith)
2. We drive over the narrow ridge. This is road to Boulder.
3. The slopes are overgrowed by low shrubs
4. It doesn't lack canyon between steep walls
5. Calf Creek Recreation Area

Thank you for your nice comments.

Today I have drawn our trip in Google Maps. This was my first trip's map in Google. So, I haven't marked recesses but I think you guess, that enterings to the National Parks along the road are obligatory  :)

If you don't have enough of Silent City in Bryce Canyon, I have some photos more

These photos are taken from Navajo Trail. This trail lead trough Wall Street on photo 4. We squeeze in rock's crack, that are about 500 feet high. Donstairs we encounter lonely tree (ph. 5), cuddled to the wall. Nobody knows what it make a living from.
