Bryce Canyon National Park - Utah

















Working out of our campsite at Zion we also made a day trip to Bryce Canyon National Park. It is amazing to me how different the landscape is at these parks in Utah. I felt like we had visited several different planets, each with it's own type of terrain. We didn't see this park at sunrise or sunset which are claimed to be the most spectacular, but it was still one of the highlights of our trip. At Bryce we wanted to hike down into the canyon to to experience the hoodoos up close, but given the July heat and our time constraints we pretty much kept to the paved trails at the rim.

Here's a travel trip that I wish we knew about during our visit.. since there are no showers at the Watchman campground in Zion, take your towel and soap so you can use the showers near the campground at Bryce. Also if they let you, drive into the park instead of parking outside the main entrance and taking the shuttle, this will save time and you won't have to carry as much stuff around with you.
