55° and mostly cloudy. Just the way I like it. We completed the loop in half the time it took us to do it last year. What a difference a year makes!

Nice report. This is the lake on top of the pass on the way over to Bryce Canyon, right?

Nice.

The entire Virgin Rim Trail is awesome. I've rode it and backpacked it

Navajo Lake is seen along SR-14, known as Cedar Mountain. It's part of Dixie National Forest. You know the road that goes from Cedar City to US-89 - right? It's not by Bryce. The Dyke is broken at the lake and it's pretty empty right now. Navajo Lake is the head waters for the Zion Narrows.

The lake shown here in the image, by the campgrounds is the lake you bike past when on the Virgin River Rim Trail.

Technically it is on the way to Bryce because you have to get to hwy 89 to get to Bryce. Faster to go over 20 through panguitch, but I usually go over the mtn up hwy 14 because it's more scenic. Awesome area, if you've never been up that way it's worth the trip

Okay, that makes sense. I just think of Cedar because I live in Orderville, so SR-14 is the way I go to the closest city.

Yea Hwy 20 to get to Bryce sucks because all the RVs and semi trucks take that route. Plus it's boring as hell. Hwy 14 is a way nicer route.
