The water in Torrey fizzed! When we got water from the tap, it was milky white and looked horrible. But then it started to fizz until it was clear and tasted just fine. Must be all the salts and minerals. No looking back.
Monday was the drive from Torrey to Escalante through the National Monument. The day started with great weather and the road climbed to 9600 ft., which meant plenty of pull-outs for photos. Just before we got to Escalante, we turned onto Hole-In-The-Rock Road (a dirt road) for the 12.5 mile drive to Devil's Garden, which is an area with numerous hoodoos and other rock outcroppings. During lunch in Esaclante, the weather turned and we had a t-storm roll through the area. The rest of the day has been cloudy and threatening to rain/thunder, but our B&B is great (Slot Canyons Inn) and we just got back from dinner in town.
Plans for Tuesday include Kodachrome Basin (Utah state park) and Grosvenor Arch, then into Bryce Canyon NP.
You know, southern Utah was never on my radar screen, but you make it sound so cool! Hope you're having a great trip, take lotsa pictures!
