Day 51

Escalante, UT to Panguich (Red Canyon), UT, about 58 miles.  Today was a very cool day.  Jacob and I continued to ride past Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument into strong headwinds.  After lunch in Tropic we headed up to Bryce Canyon City, where we left our bikes and caught a shuttle into Bryce Canyon National Park.  Bryce Canyon is stunning.  We walked around the rim of the park taking in the views.  After we saw the canyon, Jacob wanted to keep riding, but I wanted to stay and hike.  We split up and I went on a short but awesome 1.3 mile hike called the Navajo Loop Trail which went down into the canyon.  Afterward I went back into Bryce Canyon City and had dinner and continued riding for about 10 miles to Red Canyon Campground, where I'm camped in a canyon.  The nearest town is Panguich, about 11 miles from here.
