Red Canyon is pretty close to Bryce, near the junction of US 89 and UT 12. This was the reddest place I saw, but that might have been fortuitous lighting. Just a roadside stop.
Some pics from my recent backpacking trip to the Lost Coast. It was the first time I really used my new p&s camera so I wasn't able to get as many good shots as I'd hoped. I did the best I could with the plant IDs
From the fire escape. Sorry for the graininess... shooting at night, big ISO, no tripod. Night time is the right time, though. I really love how much more beautiful any city is at night... this one is especially good.
