Grand National Staircase/Escalante




Ryan and I had to leave Lake Powell a day before everyone else so we could get to the Leavitt Family Reunion. (Ryan's mom's family) near Zion's National Park, but the backside, not the St. George side. The closest "big city" is Kanab. After consulting many maps we decided the most direct route (and hopefully the fastest) would be to take a small little road from Lake Powell to Escalante and then to Kanab. It certainly was a portion of Utah I thought I'd never see. Most of our travels were through the Grand National Staircase. It really was pretty and scenic. I am glad we went the way we did. We spent the night in Escalante---cute little town. Here are some pictures from the drive--part of which also took us through Bryce Canyon.

Believe it or not, I've been to Kanab! My old college roommate was from the next town over on the AZ side, Fredonia. We used to teaser her because her town didn't even have a stoplight - the closest one was in Kanab! ha ha
