Bryce Canyon

Alternative Title: Now That's What I'm Talkin' About Part 2

The first thing you notice about Bryce Canyon National Park is that it's very, very orange. Or red. Or pink, I'm not really sure. Whatever color it is, the scenery is beyond belief. I took so many pictures I was afraid my finger would be sore the next day. I know of no other way to embellish this with my ninth grade writing skills, so I'll shut up and here are some pics.

Hmm. When you were in Vegas did you happen to go by Red Rocks? I'm not sure if it's a NP or anything, but I guess the rocks are red there. Maybe like what you saw at Bryce. I'll have to check it out sometime, I hear there's good climbing.

We'll give you a call sometime Monday. We're going to be in the canyon until the afternoon at least, not sure if I'll have cell service.

This pic blows my mind. Beautiful, reminds me of cake icing for some reason.

Now I know where they got the name Bryce from . . .

You have some amazing pictures of Bryce! I just had to post a comment. We went there 9 years ago and were truly amazed as well. When we were there I remembered thinking that Dan would love this place. Do they still allow hikers at the bottom of the canyon? I'm enjoying reading your blog as well as Dan & Laurel's. I'm impressed with all the places you've been to.

Actually, the canyon is named after Brian and Alice, except they misspelled my name with a y (or maybe they misspelled Alice's name with a y).

They allow you to hike to the bottom, but you need to purchase a back country permit. Not sure how much they cost... I was satisfied with hiking the top this time :)
