USA 2012 – day 10 – Zebra Slot, Capitol…
We get up early and soon after leaving Escalante turn right into Hole-in-the-Rock Road. Once this road was used by settlers moving west, now – provides access to Harris Wash and many lesser known slot canyons. Here we want to visit Zebra Slot, whish is accessible after about two hour walk across the desert. Whle Zebra Slot is a lot smaller than famous Antelope Slot it is… possibly … a lots more crazy place. We stay inside for about two hours, then have to leave and go back to the car, as we still have Capitol Reef planned for the day, and visting it not by the usual beautifull Route 12, but more extreme Burr Trail, driving down the cliffside of the canyon via Burr Trail switchbacks.

USA 2012 – day 9 – Bryce N.P. –…
We leave early in the morning to get as much headstart for Bryce National Park as possible. I planned a longer than usual trek down into the canyon – not the usual Queen’s Garden Trail but Fairyland Loop. The place is amazing. We hike down from the Inn, and end up on the Fairland Parking. From there quick drive to Visitor Center, and then by shuttle bus to Bryce Point, where we set up for Annualar Eclipse – the ring of fire.
