We left Capitol Reef National Park reluctantly but headed out early towards Bryce National Park. Friends had told us about Kodachrome Basin State Park and urged us to stay there. It is about 15 miles from Bryce. Are we happy we took their advice.
Kodachrome Basin State Park is in a spectacular setting about nine miles off the main highway. Our campsite, #20, had a grotto of mature juniper and chamisa that enveloped our picnic table and firepit. It was so enclosed and private that we felt we were the only ones in the camp. In fact, the camp host had raked the campsite! That and hot showers get my vote for best place to stay. Although the trip into Bryce from Kodachrome Basin is long the drive is lovely and a stop at Ruby's just before you enter Bryce NP is a welcome shopping experience.
We loved Bryce. The Hoodoos were extraordinary and some of our party did a couple of hikes they said were pretty wonderful.
