Nick Jackson lives in London and
drove 3,000 miles through the US

Earlier this year I decided to
retrace a road trip I took with my
parents through America as a
child. Starting in Los Angeles, I
finished up near the Grand
Canyon five weeks later. One of
the highlights was a return to
Bryce Canyon. The vertical
hoodoos, some as high as
10-storey buildings, were
as impressive as I had
remembered. I woke while it was
still dark to wait for the sunrise.
When it crept over the horizon,
the rock warmed to orange,
casting long shadows. It was a
breathtaking morning.
It’s rare that a childhood travel
memory revisited in adulthood
matches the awe of seeing
something for the first time. Bryce
Canyon more than did this.
