Beautiful Bryce

Sorry it has been a while since an update. We have had some pretty full days. But we are starting to settle in to a nice traveling pace now.

From the North Rim of the Grand Canyon we drove north towards Bryce Canyon. We started out on forested roads, but soon ended up in desert country. We passed through all kinds of little towns, all of which seemed to have a rock shop; apparently lots of people want rocks.

When inquiring about camping at Bryce, we were told that if we arrived between noon and 2, we should be able to find a site as they are all first come first serve. When we arrive just before 2, we found only one site available, and it was stuck between a row of port-o-potties and cuation tape from the washroom being repaired. But it is only a place to sleep so we did not care.

After not realizing there was a time change, we ended up forced to hike back from Bryce Point to our site, which ended up being one of the best hikes of the trip. We were treated to beautiful sunset scene of the Hoodoos as seen below.

The next morning we did a hike down in to the Hoodoos. This was a great hike as well and included some interesting switch backs at the end. After a great morning it was time to head off to Zion.

The scope of the Grand Canyon is amazing, but the interesting features in Bryce Canyon blew me away. It was spectacular!
