Back in June of last year, we spent a night at Bryce Canyon during our trip through the southwest. This place has one of the most alien landscapes we have ever witnessed. The rock formations (called hoodoos) go on for as far as the eye can see. In late afternoon and early morning, the light reflects off the sandstone and casts dark shadows throughout the canyon. With daytime temperatures in the eighties, we weren't expecting the thirty degree morning we had to watch the sunrise!
The park road runs through and provides a number of vistas to stop at and view the landscape below, so during the first afternoon and morning, we mainly explored from the rim of the canyon. The shots in this post are from those trips. We did have a solid hike through the canyon itself, which I'll post in the near future. Bryce is much smaller than Zion, and can easily be seen in a day, but very much worth checking out if you're traveling through Utah!
