Todd and I journeyed to Bryce Canyon this weekend. It was a great way to start out the New Year. It was chilly, but sunny and beautiful, and of course we found an adventure or two. This is the entrance to Ruby's Inn. I love how they decorated for Christmas!
We stayed at this motel - the Grand Staircase Inn, in Cannonville. The rooms are clean and very affordable ($39 per night is not too shabby!) and is on the very spot that my grandmother was raised in the early 1900's. It turned out that we were the only guests that evening. The office closed at 7:00 and afterward there was not another living soul on site. It was eerie to say the least!
This morning we explored the area a bit before we started our trek home. Todd just happened to notice something as we drove down a little dirt road. I don't know how he saw it! Look closely...
It was only by extraordinary luck (and Todd's excellent vision) that we saw this Bald Eagle!
A beautiful, regal creature...
We saw this abandoned cabin near the Georgetown Cemetery.
We eventually made it to the rim. Regrettably, I can only recall being in Bryce Canyon in January once before.
It was a quick trip - but it was fun, and Todd and I were able to plan for the upcoming year. Happy 2010!

Sounds like a fun trip. We love to stay at little hole-in-the-wall places (so long as they are clean). The Bald Eagle is really cool too.
Beautiful photos of Bryce. I really want to go there this year with our trailer. I'm thinking an early summer trip is in order. Hell, didn't you tell me that there was a 5k or something down there? I'm totally in for that one! We should do it. Will discuss more Tuesday. Be there or be lame. Or square. Whatever.
OUT

Happy New Year to you too! =)
Great to see a post from you...=D
The photos of the eagle are stunning! Someone has very good eyesight. I never would have noticed the bird from such a distance.
