I didn't know what to expect at Bryce - all the descriptions and brochures I had seen were pretty vague. But wow! It was simply stunning and very cool. The views were great. As we walked around the rim of the canyon, each time you look out from a different perspective you saw different features and shapes.
Some views from the top:
The vertical rock formations are called "hoodoos." A few more perspectives:
Yes, it's a long way down!
So after walking around the top and admiring all of it, we decided to hike down into the canyon and get a view from below:
This formation was called "Twin Bridges." Guess you can figure out why!
How cool is this?
The park had a challenge called "Hike the Hoodoos" to go on a number of hikes and find the medallion markers on the trails to show that you had done them. The challenge was to find three (I think there were six total). We did it! Our selfies with the medallions as proof:
After a long day, time to eat and rest. Again, not much around out here, so we stayed in more rustic accommodations. :-)
Tomorrow: More Bryce, and one last park to go.
