Bryce Canyon

It was again about 40 degrees when we got up, and it was overcast.  They are predicting rain and some storms for the next 4-5 days, and I hope they are wrong!

I really wanted to see Bryce with blue skies, but that was not to be.  It didn't rain on us, but there were clouds all day, which makes the pictures not nearly as spectacular.

It takes about 30 minutes to get to the canyon from our campground.  Since we have a Golden Age Pass, we get in free.  They had advised us to go to the end of the road and stop at the view points on the way back, since then they are all on the right.

I took another 235 pictures and have tried to pick the best ones to put here.







Lots of hoodoos

Baxter enjoyed the views!

Natural Bridge


More forest fire areas

Quaking Aspen trees




See the people on the path below?

We did NOT make this hike!

These hoodoos look like they have concrete icing on top!



Looks like they should topple over!

These trees take a beating!









It was cold and windy!




We saw lots of these shrubs with pink flowers.
They are Greenleaf Mansanita.

Finally got a picture of pronghorns!
