Bryce Canyon National Park Bryce, Utah

By far, this has been the best hike. We started off looking over the vast canyon and deciding which way we should hike. We choose the right path. From the top, it looks like a white fairyland with spires named hoodoos lining as far as the eye can see. The hoodoo’s reminded me of the drip sandcastles made in my youth. See if you agree with the comparison pictures below. Interestingly 53 to 40 million years ago this entire canyon was underwater.

We started our descent and the incline was fairly steep going down into the canyon. There were so many different hoodoo’s to admire and wander through. At the bottom, a forest began to emerge with beautiful fir trees standing out among the red colored rocks.

To hike up to the rim, you hike through the Wall of Windows. This was the best part of the hike minus the quick elevation going up. The photos cannot do this segment of the hike justice. It reminded me of the slots in Antelope Canyon in Arizona. The slot was towering as high as a skyscraper. To get to the top from the bottom, you have to traverse the switchback path until you reach the top of the rim.

This was the first hike I felt elated and would probably do again.
