To top it off, the main areas of the park were accessible only by shuttle, which you needed prior reservations for. Honestly, it reminded me of Disney World in the summer. We weren’t expecting the kind of crowds we saw. We met back up with our friends today and drove into Zion National Park. All in all, it was a fun day of exploring in Bryce! It left all four of us quite dusty, which I have to admit was pretty fun! We had a steep ascent left to climb our way back out of the canyon. It wasn’t quite sand and wasn’t quite chalk, it was somewhere in between. It was hot and I was looking forward to a quick dip!) The trail was made up of the most unusual substrate. There was promise of a river but it was completely dried up when we arrived. We tacked on an additional trail to the hike, which brought us further into the canyon floor. It was such a neat way to reach the canyon floor. The trail took us along the rim of the canyon for a bit before taking us down into the canyon! The trail made long switchbacks as we descended into the canyon. The hike starts at the Sunset Point Overlook, which offered a beautiful vista of the canyons. We ventured into Bryce Canyon National Park today and hiked the Queen’s Garden and Navajo Loop. It’s been several years since we’ve seen each other, so a second visit was nice to have. We met up earlier in the trip while we were in Grand Tetons. She lives with her partner in Salt Lake City and traveled down to visit. My high school best friend met us at the Park. ![]() There are very few gaps in its history, which is what makes this so cool. Usually the ‘staircase’ is interrupted in some way, be it by earthquakes, plate shifts, or glacial movement. This staircase is the world’s most complete sequence of sedimentary rock, recounting history of 525 million years. The staircase starts at Bryce Canyon and stair-steps its way down to Zion canyon, Vermillion Cliffs, the Kaibab Plateau (Grand Canyon’s north rim), ending at the Grand Canyon. Another neat thing about these parks is that they are all part of what’s called ‘The Grand Staircase’. Environmental forces are forever changing the landscape, so that in another million years it may offer a completely different view. The neat thing about Bryce Canyon is it’s always in motion. The tops of these holes are dissolved by rain, leaving the spires we see today. This constant expansion and contraction enlarges cracks in the wall, which creates holes, or ‘windows’, in the rock. Temperatures in Bryce can swing 40 degrees in a day, dropping temperatures to below freezing at night and thawing again during the day. This is when water seeps into the cracks of thin rock walls, freezes and expands. Unlike most rock formations that are formed by flowing water, the hoodoos at Bryce are formed by frost-wedging. ![]() The park is known for its beautiful hoodoos, which are bulbous columns of eroded limestone pillars. On day 3 we visited iconic Bryce Canyon National Park. Yum! We took a rest day the next day and took some time for picture editing, relaxing, and some cooking. We did some grocery shopping and I discovered I love these grapefruit chewy candies. ![]() Our spot had several trees surrounding it, which we were so appreciative of after Moab. Even though it was still in UT, this park was about 10 degrees cooler than Moab and had mature trees throughout the park. This park was a much needed respite for us. We drove from Moab to Glendale UT today and set up camp at Bauer RV Park.
