Our Favourite National Park....May 7th 2017....

We are back once again at incredible Bryce Canyon National Park....
It's a busy Sunday but we are able to park at Sunset Point and get the free shuttle.....our driver was a real character keeping us entertained on the short journey to Bryce Point for our hike along the steep Peekaboo Trial and a trail we have not hiked before....
Bryce Point is 8,300 ft elevation, with an elevation change down through the beginning of the trail of 1,571ft...
Spectacular views from the trail...and sorry no apologies for the amount of photos today....so many pics and hard to choose which to use for blog...
This trail is through the heart of Bryce Canyon....it is a loop trail but we will head off later along the Navajo Trail as although the climb back up to Sunset Point is steep it is not as severe as climbing back up to Bryce Point....
We can never tire of looking at views like this....

And back to where's Wally/Waldo !!



Can there be more incredible views then here at Bryce...


I think the one on the right looks like an alpaca....
Same rock formation as above but to me from this angle looks like a lady from a Jane Austen novel....
Part of this trail is shared with guided horse tours another great way to see this stunning area....
We had found a great viewing spot for a rest and our lunch sandwich...
We are rested and fortified ready for the climb back to Sunset Point...


We made it back to the top and time to sit and reflect and gaze once more into the amphitheatre of Bryce...
Photos can never convey the beauty of this area......we are biased but in our opinion this should be on everyones bucket list of places to experience ....
Back home and a quick thunder storm erupts but clears in time for Yorkieman to grill some yummy pork chops...
We have had a most fabulous day.....fun with the bus driver, met some great folks on the trail and once again blown away and "exultant" by the most amazing scenery of Bryce Canyon....
Until the next post...
The very very Happy Campers.....

  1. Hi Both,
    Wow love the pics.I`m getting good at spotting Wally/Waldo.
    You are tiring me out with the pics of hiking trails,I must get more exercise.
    Disappointed no picture of Michael on horseback.Hope the pork chops were grilled to perfection,and that there was a liquid accompaniment.
    Met up with Richard on 17th he`s getting shot(tip) of pos and winding down for 31 May.
    Enjoy.
    Cheers,
    Ann & Dave
