The Union Pacific 1926 "Grand Circle Tour": Day 4, Bryce Canyon

The Union Pacific 1926 "Grand Circle Tour": Day 4, Bryce Canyon

After 3 days of staying in pretty much the same places as the UP rail tour, I was shut out of Bryce because one of the campgrounds was closed for repaving and the other which is first come first served filled up fast.
Ended up staying at Ruby's Inn campground which was having some minor flooding issues due to the recent rain.

We're always hearing how tourists are overcrowding our parks and "Loving them to death." I got my hands on a 1926 pamphlet advertising Union Pacific's Overland tour system of Southern Utah and Arizona. I want to compare what tourism is like now and what it was like then. What can we learn about how to be better tourists and stop destroying our National Parks?

The biggest tour they offered (Tour #5) takes us in a grand circle through 3 National Parks, 2 National Monuments, and a National Forest Preserve over the course of 5 busy days.
