Bryce Canyon - 5 Stars

Second time to Bryce Canyon and 12th National Park in 3 months, but I’m still just as smitten. The crazy hoodoos. The beautiful colors of pinks and whites from the rocks. The surprising greenery in the midst of it all. It makes me feel slightly in awe and generally just smile at its beauty.

We did a short hike down into the hoodoos along Queens Garden trail and up to Navajo Loop, through Wall Street, a short area with tall yet narrow slots and even some random trees growing.

After a short drive to the end of the scenic road, I took another little hike along the Rim Trail, taking in all the sights.

We drove back to St George through the east side of Zion. Amazing. Crazy how different it was from where we were the day prior. Much larger slick rock, and the Chekerboard Mesa with its hatch marks crisscrossing the rock were unique. The mile-long tunnel with its carved massive windows to the outside, and the views of the canyon coming down from the hillside were just awesome.

Such a good day.Read more
