Bryce's Canyon, Saturday,  22nd August

We left Monument Valley for the drive through Dixie National Forest towards Bryce's Canyon NP. En route we stopped to see some hoodoos. Otherwise the route was scenic butnot otstanding.

Things must have had become a little dull so to lift our mood we had a photo shoot with Penelope the Packrat.

Some we were in Bryce's Canyon...not  canyon at all but an amphitheatre shape cut out of cliffs that had been eroded and created a whole fistful of hoodoos and other strange shapes and colours but before we arrived at the designated sight, we came across a small deer.

The view below the rim trail.

Classic hard rock topped soft pillars or hoodoos.

Some of the path and lookouts were only for the brave.

From the rim trail it was a great view of the hoodoos and later we took a rail down amongst the hoodoos.

This is said to resemble Queen Victoria.

We moved on to the Kodachrome Basin Campground which also has some hoodoos but after seeing the best, these were not so impressive so we pitched camp and had a supper followed but games around the camp fire.
