Canyons of the Southwest US Vacations by Rail

Bryce Canyon

Our tour of the National Parks of the Southwest sponsored by Vacations by Rail included three different canyons.  We transferred to a bus in Flagstaff and began our two week tour with 33 tourists aboard.  Our first stop was the Grand Canyon which I had seen before, but it is always breathtaking to behold, mainly because of its vastness.

After the Grand Canyon we moved on to Zion National Park.

The Three Patriarchs.  

The tour moved on to Bryce Canyon.  On the way to Bryce Canyon we saw a baby bighorn sheep crossing the road with its mother.

Of the three canyons, Bryce Canyon is my favorite.
