Phew, Room at the Inn

We were deciding between Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks . . . we were unable to get reservations on either. We read that the campsites at Zion are in mostly desert, at the bottom of the canyon (so, hot) and Bryce had Ponderosa Pine sites with what appeared to be ample first-come, first-served locations. So it was on to Bryce. And here we are with a dusty campsite, just got out of a sweeping ranger talk on the geology of the entire region and are plotting our next move.
