The drive to Bryce Canyon NP from Capitol Reef NP is through the high mountain forests of the Dixie National Forest, then the dry desert cliffs and washes of the Escalante National Monument and then back into the Dixie NF. Wild changes in scenery.
No problem getting a campsite in Bryce. Drove the 18 mile road through the park and stopped at all the overlooks into the canyon. Hiked a couple of shorter trails.
Went to a ranger talk at 9, and then went out to Sunrise Point to look at the stars. Clear moonless night, the view was spectacular. With binoculars, you could even see some moons of Jupiter! Didn’t linger too long, we were at 8000 feet and it was freezing cold and the wind was blowing.
