Zion continued to amaze us with beauty in the morning as we left for Bryce Canyon.
Bighorn sheep grazing along the side of the road.
The different patterns of erosion on the rock was really interesting.
Yovimpa Point
We arrived at Bryce Canyon National Park around lunch and were treated to an entirely different view when we found ourselves gazing at the amazing Hoodoos and canyons. It seems like you can see forever here with many "points" to see. You truly get a little idea of scale when you venture on a trail and lose yourself among the towering trees and hoodoos.
We went to the visitor center to orient ourselves and watch the video there. We then drove to the very end of the park and worked our way south as many of the viewpoints are on that side of the road. It took us awhile to stop, get out and see just these outlooks.
Rainbow Point- Elevation 9115 ft
Aqua Point
Natural Bridge- Elevation 8627 ft
Farview Point- Elevation 8819 ft
Inspiration Point- Elevation 8100 ft
We checked into the Bryce Canyon Lodge and took the moderate "Navajo Loop" trail from Sunset Point. We saw Wall Street, Two Bridges and Thor's hammer from the trail.

Thor's Hammer
This trail was breath taking!!!! Just beautiful views wherever you would turn!
It was close to sunset and Juliette literally ran the last 30 minutes of the trail.
First one to the end!
Sunset Point
We watched the sun go down and it was remarkable! We then had dinner at the Bryce Canyon Lodge restaurant. It was very good! What a memorable end to a beautiful and sunny day!
