In preparation for our trip out West this summer, I have been looking through all my pictures from our last trip. I wanted to share some of the pictures from my favorite park - Bryce Canyon. I was in awe of this park. It is breathtakingly beautiful. The park was clean, had excellent hiking paths, a nice visitor center, and a great campground.
Bryce Canyon is actually known as an amphitheater instead of a canyon. You can hike into it and around the rim of it. It is famous for its Hoodoos, which are thin, spires of rock formed by erosion. There are also many arches in the rocks.
We were able to camp at Bryce for three days. The weather was sunny and warm every day we were there. Our campsite was so close to the canyon. You can drive to various points in the park or hike into the canyon. We did both. We also enjoyed visiting the local town. There is a great gift shop and restaurant called Ruby's Inn. They also have a cute Old Town area with gift shops and an ice cream parlor. The ice cream was amazing.
Here are some of our favorite pictures of Bryce Canyon.

The Search for Hoodoos
They are described as earth pryamids, fairy chimneys,
tent rocks, spires, and columns of rock.
We were successful and found the Hoodoos!

Visiting Old Bryce Town and Ruby's Inn
Luke decided to buy a cowboy hat and loves it!
If you ever have a chance to visit Utah, you MUST go see Bryce Canyon National Park. It captured my heart and is my favorite park that I've been to so far. It is Logan's favorite park too. I can't wait to go back.
