Bryce Canyon National Park

We got into Bryce around 13:00 and went straight to our camp site which was very close to the park entrance. The campground has running water but no showers. Sites are pretty nice but fairly open.

After some lunch, we started hiking to the Queen's Garden and Navajo Loop trails via the Rim Trail. It had been 24 years since we had been here and I wasn't sure if the actual park would live up to the memories. The park did not disappoint. The hoodoos, with their fantastic shapes and colors are incredible. The hike ended up being 5 miles, a nice distance for an afternoon outing.

Dinner ended up being pizza from a small shop right next to the park Lodge. Beer was served in a Starbucks cup. Might be my new morning drink.

We were in bed early, as had been the norm, although Eileen tends to read longer than me.

The night skies continue to be fantastic even though the moon is infringing on the star observation early in the night. The weather has been great, too, with lots of blue skies and good temperatures.Weiterlesen
