Tuesday, August 25th was our last day at Bryce. We did a short hike to Mossy Cave and Tropic Falls. The Tropic Falls are actually man made. In 1892 the pioneers needed water for drinking and irrigation so they dug out along a natural seep and wash line to bring water to the town of Tropic. There has only been one drought that has stopped the water from flowing. After lunch we took one last look at the beautiful overlooks. We will come back to Bryce Canyon some day to enjoy it again but also to ride the new bike trail they are working on now. It will be a paved 28 mile trail and run from Bryce to Red Rock.
Wednesday, August 26th after the rain slowed down we left Bryce and drove to Zion West RV Park in Leeds, UT just outside of St George. The afternoon was spent shopping in real stores! We had spent 5 1/2 weeks in small Utah towns, it was nice to be in a city again.

There are ravens all over the park. This one did not seem to mind everyone taking pictures.
