"Hoodoos" a pillars of red rock, usually of fantastic shape left by erosion. This is what Bryce Canyon made of.
We arrived at Bryce Canyon early in the morning as we planned to hike down into the canyon before it got to hot. We were lucky to find a place to park as it was Memorial Day weekend and there were lots & lots of people. We use the Bryce free shuttle system to get around for the rest of the day.
We decided to take the Queen/Navajo combination loop trail for our hike. It takes you from Sunrise to Sunset Point. It’s called the World’s best 3 mile hike. It has steep grades with “down & back” elevation changes of 500ft. Great hike but we were tired at the end-so treated ourselves to a nice lunch at the Bryce Lodge. After lunch we took the shuttle to Bryce and Inspiration Points. Both had short hikes with great views.
We sent the night at Ruby’s Inn - a neat hotel next to the park.
