Bryce Canyon National Park

Today we drove over to Bryce Canyon. It was 72 miles and took about 1 1/2 hrs. The park is southeast from Beaver across the mountains and it is a scenic drive going through some pretty, quaint little towns like Panguitch and Bryce City.

This park is another must see park with its beautiful and unique rock formations (called Hoodoos). The formations are unlike anything we had ever seen (and we've seen a lot of canyons and mountains). In the one day trip I took over 60 photos and 5 videos and I think they are all beautiful. I did my best to show you pictures from each area of the park.

Yep, there are people hiking down there.....

Inspiration Point was my favorite with its panoramic views from a very high point. I had to hike about a 1/4 mile straight up to get to the point. The only area we didn't get to was Bryce Point. They had that area closed off to the public for some construction work.

We spent the better part of a day driving to each of the pull offs and overlooks and there are many trails for the younger crowd, even some that take you down into the canyons. As you can tell from the pictures we had rain threatening us most of the day and the Rangers even stopped letting people hike down into the canyons for a period of time due to weather.

Check off another beautiful, Utah, National Park.....if you get the chance be sure to come see this one.
