Bryce Canyon Side Trip

After lunch we decided to check out one last part of Bryce Canyon National Park before heading back to Park City.

Into the Canyon

After taking in Bryce Canyon from the canyon rim at sunrise, we ate a quick breakfast and packed up our camp.  The morning was chilly with a cold breeze, so we took our time before we embarked on a hike into the canyon for what the Park claimed was the best three mile hike in the world: Queens Garden Loop Trail to the Navajo Loop Trail.  It was indeed spectacular.

Hoodoos.  So many Hoodoos.
