Bryce Canyon was amazing and in its own way, very comparable to the Grand Canyon. It has unique features such as “hoodoos” (seen in the picture taken at Inspiration Point). Hoodoos are the tall, thin spires of rock that are sort of in the shape of a totem pole. There are thousands of them in the canyon. They were formed when Bryce Canyon was once part of an inland sea.
We went to all the lookouts in the park and did quite a bit of hiking. We scrapped our planned hike of the Queen’s Garden trail and replaced it with a flatter hike on the Bristlecone trail. Too much up and down at the other parks so we gave our knees a break.
We then drove 2 hours to Springdale, UT, which took us through part of Zion National Park. We will see the rest tomorrow.
Saw a herd of prong-horn deer in Bryce Canyon. Also saw our first elk (in my burger tonight). Washed it down with Bumbleberry pie. Yummy.
