On the way to Bryce Canyon, we passed a lot of fields like this one, where the sprinklers had turned everything within reach to ice. It was pretty cool. I guess we should have started worrying right then about what the weather would be like on our first night of camping! Come to find out it was forecast to be 14 degrees. But our tent only got down to 30. It was a good way to renew that closeness that a vacation away from kids should produce, because we were forced to snuggle all night long, so that at least one side could be warmish.
We had been through almost the whole park before we finally found the view we had come for. And it was not disappointing! It's so unique and beautiful.
This was one of our favorite hikes of the trip. A 1.3 mile loop, Navajo Loop takes you right down into the rock formations. You can see the trail switchbacks snaking back and forth. Yes, the trail really does lead through that really tall narrow passage where the dark shadow is.
And at the end of that passage is this huge tree growing straight up through it. Wow.
This cool tree was standing on it's roots at the edge of the canyon at sunrise.
