Red rocks in Bryce Canyon NP

Want to sleep in a railroad car? You can at Big Rock Candy Mountain

You get a different view of Bryce as you move along the rim.

We were hiking in this general area

PANGUITCH, UT - -  (Pronounced panG-which)  Indian name, settled by the Mormons.  Anyway we're here in Bryce Canyon NP for a few days.  We got lucky and scored a campsite in a prime location.  Usually around this time of year sites are hard to come by since families head out now that the kids are out of school.
    You could consider Bryce different from our previous stops.  Here we hike down before hiking up.  Of course, you can follow the rim trail and leave out the most strenuous sections you could do.
     Today, we did the Navajo trail (down) and Wall Street (up) a two hour grind designed to get your heart rate up and your knee joints realizing this isn't flat land by a long shot.  Tomorrow will probably be just as exciting.
