Yesterday, we woke up early to see the sunrise from Bryce Point in Bryce Canyon National Park. Low clouds prevented us from receiving the full effect of the early morning light on Bruce's unique, colorful hoodoos, but we struck around and enjoyed the scene when the sun did emerge.
After breakfast, we split up for the really for first time on the trip. I hiked a series of trails that added up to about 14 miles. Mom did a few shorter loops & listened in on a couple ranger programs.
We rendezvoused about 5:00 PM & drove to Rainbow Point at the southern end of the park's scenic drive. There, we walked the Bristlecone Pine Loop through a pine forest to a great viewpoint looking. We stopped at a few more viewpoints driving back to the visitor center where we watched a short film about the park & bought souvenirs.
We left the park after sunset, having literally spent the whole day there. On the way back to the hotel, we detoured to try a restaurant recommended by the owner of th hotel, Hatch's Station.
