BRYCE CANYON

After leaving The Grand Canyon we took a weekend R&R at a little campground that was entirely gravel and dust.  In this area of southern Utah nothing grows unless it is irrigated, hence the dust. Next up,  Bryce Canyon.  While the Grand Canyon is impressive because of its size, Bryce is because of the unusually rock formations.

Called Hoodoos, they are freestanding pillars of rock in many difference shapes and sizes.

WE took a hike down into the canyon, when you get closer you realize how big some of these hoodoos are. I know this is beginning to sound like a broken record but it was really hot and dry in  the last few weeks. We are aware that many of you in the east are feeling the heat now as well. hang in there, before long it will be fall.

Some really interesting formations.

And some more.  How does some rock wash away and not other ones. Or maybe it was created like this. HUMM

Waiting for sunset. The sun is setting behind us and bringing out the colours of the far canyon wall.
