The day started out with a friendly little 16 mile detour (flat, thank goodness). We recalculated our course and entered Bryce Canyon National Park, which lent us a nice bike route for a little while. We didn't venture off course to see the Canyon, but the views were pretty enough from our saddles.
Escalante proved to be a very hip little town with one particular hip epicenter, Escalante Outfitters, that tickled all of our outdoor-gear-loving spots. The cafe served perfect fresh sandwiches and calzones, and Steve behind the counter let us stay in a cabin out back for free. We met two recent retirees staying there as well that were biking trans-America as a bucket list fulfillment. They gave us their blog address (I'll add it later). Check it out for more/better pictures; they've been traveling the same route!
