Bryce Canyon

Yesterday we left Salt Lake City and tried to get to Cedar Breaks National Park, alas the road was closed, so we detoured and tried again, same problem.  Gave up and headed to Bryce Canyon.

It is impossible to find the right words to describe Bryce Canyon - spectacular doesn't really do it.  It is just surreal,  Many, many hoodoos, and formations.  They have now set up a shuttle bus that runs every 10 minutes from an external (to the park) parking area and campsite, and all the view points.  It works really well.  For instance we hiked for about 3 hours in and amongst the hoodoos (yes, Susan, we did the Navajo trail and the queens garden) then caught a bus to the visitors centre for some sit down time at their video.  Then caught the bus again and went to Bryce Point and walked the rim trail down to Inspiration point.  Now very tired, caught the bus back to the campsite!  Perfect, no driving or fussing with camper.  The campsites are full, the trails busy, 17 tour buses as well - yikes, we thought this would be a quiet time to visit.  Heading towards canyon de Chelly tomorrow.
