Bryce

Last Thursday, we boarded a plane to Las Vegas then went straight up to Bryce Canyon NP. I can't say that much for our lodging--it advertised "clean rooms" and if that's how they want to separate themselves from the competition, something is wrong. But the park is fantastic.

We spent three days in the park. On our first day, we hiked down from Bryce Point into the amphitheater that's so famous and went on the Peekaboo Loop, so named because you wind all around the rock formations, always coming around a corner and seeing something new. The picture below is from that hike.

On day two, we did a hike down across the cliffs, but a less well-travelled part of the park. In the 5 hours we were out there, we didn't see a single other person. We did see towering cliffs of reds and oranges and pinks and whites. There will be no pictures posted to the blog from this hike.

Our third day was a short hike since we were also travelling to Zion that day. Again, we walked along the cliffs in the farther reaches of the park.





Eli has been a great hiker, the star of the trail as always, but he's actually been very difficult when it comes to eating. For now, we are going with teething.
