BRYCE NATIONAL PARK...UTAH

We left Page early to get to Bryce NP. On the way we stopped at some log cabins called Harolds Place at Panguitch and booked our accommodation before we hit the park. When we got to Bryce we found that they offer a free shuttle service to the different spots of interest, largely to keep down the traffic around the park. We went to the first viewpoint where we walked on from that point for about an hour around the rim walk  ( pics 1) , we looked down over the landscape way below where we could see horse riders in the canyon amongst the hoodoos... the myriad of pinnacles. Once back to the point where we could catch the bus to the next site where the Navajo walk started (pics 2). I almost balked at that, the walk was about 1200 feet down the side of the canyon winding back and forth through the canyon opening and down to the river, where we took the Garden trail to make the round trip back up to the top again.  It was quite hot out of the canyon about 90 degrees F and we were walking for 2.5 hours, by the end of the trip up again we were absolutely worn out. We made our way back to the car park via the shuttle and drove back to our accommodation where they served up a nice dinner.
