Bryce Revisited

Had to go back to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah... What a place on this earth!
Steve, Gari & Cheryl marveling at Inspiration Point

Just wow for me. Inspiration indeed!

Gari on the trail.

A BC view

Zoom in a bit

Gari & Cheryl at an overlook.

An interesting optical illusion at our National Park.  The roof is absolutely flat, but the cedar shingles were laid in a pattern that generates a look of waviness.  Can you see it in the picture?

On the Queen's Garden Trail.  We spy a tunnel door ahead on the trail.

Steve & Cheryl have both ends of the tunnel covered.

Gari among balancing rocks.

Closer in.

More balancing acts.  Spectacular erosion patterns to be sure.

It looks like mud or dirt, but no it is solid rock.

Even the timber is sculpted.

What?!

Cheryl admires the canyon walls from the valley floor, as Gari photo-bombs in from the right.

Gari beginning the ascent out of the valley and up a narrow canyon.

The trail switchbacks go way up the narrow canyon.

Cheryl stands in the narrow canyon and sizes up the switchback trail up and out.

Tall Hoodoos surround the small canyon up and out.

Looking down the switchback trail.... Gari at the top Cheryl right behind.

We made it! That was a long steep way out!

Beauty by beauty.

Love the views at Bryce Canyon.  So many.  So magnificent!

Sinking Ship rock.  Hills sliced off in the background are a nice bonus to this view.

Steve stops to talk to a small elephant. He looks thirsty.

A lone Bristle Cone Pine atop a windowed wall.

Looks like a jester's hat.

 There is the Queen in the Garden, see her?

Now you do.  Might have to use your imagination a little.

And that is Bryce Canyon National Park revisited.  Probably going to have to do that again one day...
