The first leg of our trip to Steamboat Springs we stopped at Cedar Breaks National Monument, Bryce Canyon National Park, Kodachrome Basin State Park, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Capital Reef National Park. We had been to Cedar Breaks and Bryce Canyon before, but the other three were new to me.

Sept. 15, 2025 - Ivanpah Solar Electric Plant
On the way to Cedar Breaks, we stopped at the Ivanpah Solar Electric Plant. It's a very old plant that used steam generated by focused sunlight. I liked the photos I took of the mirrors and the sun reflecting off them onto the huge steam generators.
Sept. 16, 2025 - Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon
Cedar Breaks is like a small Bryce Canyon, but with fewer people. It makes for a nice stop on the way to Bryce Canyon.
Bryce Canyon has a lot of places to stop and take pictures. On this trip we just stopped at one of them to take pictures before heading on to Kodachrome Basin State Park where we had a reservation for the night.
Sept. 17, 2025 - Kodachrome Basin State Park
We only had one night at Kodachrome Basin State Park before heading to nearby Escalante Petrified Forest State Park for our next night. You definitely want to be here for the early morning light. But I'd say we got a bit of a late start and missed the best light.
Sept. 18, 2025 - Escalante Grand Staircase, Capitol Reef
Just a short drive from Kodachrome Basin State Park is Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument and Capitol Reef National Park.
