93 was a good road and another great ride. Not nearly as intense as some of the other roads we have travelled, but very remote, lots of open range and nice scenery. At one point while we had stopped for a break I asked Jamie if she could hear it. "Hear what ?" she asked. My point exactly. Sitting there you couldn't hear anything but the wind. No autos, people, jets, etc. It was great.
The open range in Nevada
More open range, we were looking for Elk but didn't see any.
We reached the town of Panaca and headed east towards Bryce Canyon. Though we had better stop for lunch first. This was another of those one horse towns where you better take advantage of what is available.
Another local diner...home made burgers and good coffee!
We cut across Utah on Route 56 and passed through Cedar City and headed into the Bryce Canyon area. Scenic roads abounded in this area and the ride was great. We picked our way through the back country and eventually made it to the edge of the Bryce National Park.

Outstanding views
The red rock was amazing

We reached the edge of the park and were brought back to reality. We have avoided the crowds and tourists throughout this trip. Even while in the Redwoods, as it was midweek, crowds were minimal. Here, however, it was a different story. Tour buses, huge groups of Europeans, people everywhere. We got some info on the area and decided to come back in the off season so we can better enjoy the area.
Day 14 = 293 miles
