Road to Bryce Canyon

The drive to Bryce Canyon was a changing landscape. We saw great eroded cliffs and drove across the top of the mesa. We made a quick stop going into Red Canyon at the entrance of the road going toward Bryce. A short little section of deep red hoodoos and canyon walls.

We found our motel, the Bryce Canyon Pines, and checked in before driving to the park for a little sightseeing. We drove to Inspiration Point and took lots of pictures of the main amphitheater. We waited around long enough that the clouds broke and we got sunshine on the hoodoos. We also stopped at Sunset Point for more pictures and saw the trail going down into the canyon. Seeing it brought out the desire to explore again.

We ended the day at the Bryce Canyon Pines restaurant for dinner. It was ok. The homemade pie was a nice way to end the day as we sat around our motel room relaxing. We tried to made it an easier day but we still put in at least 4 miles of true hiking.Read more
