Early morning start to get to the Bryce Canyon National Park, located in Southern Utah. The park is well known for its orangey red coloured rock formations. The park is home to many hoodoos, which are strange looking pillars of rock left standing by erosion. There are the most amount of hoodoos here compared to any other national park. It is a very spectacular view! We walked along sunset peak and took some photos!

Next up our third national park visit, to the famous Grand Canyon, located in the state of Arizona. Again, we were overwhelmed by the views we saw. We went to the visitor centre, and took in the views whilst being entertained by some squirrel chipmunk looking animals who cheekily live of human food I presume. We then took a two hour hike up the Transept Trail, which is an easy one taking us along the North Rim from the North Rim Campground to the Grand Canyon Lodge. This place is so massive that you can fit 80 New York Cities inside of it, and the dept of the Canyon is one mile long! I think there has been around 12 deaths per year from people getting too close to the rim and falling down whilst attempting to take selfie photographs!! This place was definitely a highlight of my trip! :)

Finally, the fourth and last national park were visiting in America, Zion National Park, located in Southwest Utah. Another beautiful place. There was hop on and off shuttles which ran frequently and was the main way to get around the park. We took a one mile walk following the river to the Emerald Pool, where there was a waterfall located at the end. We also went to the Weeping Rock, which the name entertained us which too was essentially a waterfall. Very pretty views!
