A (slow) Hike in Bryce Canyon National Park (by Myra Rudin)

Not quite as adventurous as Detlef Palm as witnessed in his recent “Sacred Heights” story and photos, but still “venturesome”, I am reminded of an excellent visit as a (slow) hiker in Bryce Canyon National Park.

Located in southern Utah, Bryce Canyon is particularly noted for its “hoodoos”, spires of different colored rock formations.  Its elevation ranges to 9,000 feet highest, making it a “colder” park than many others in the area. 

With many trails and loops, one can choose the level of difficulty they prefer.  Cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and camping are among other activities offered all year round. 

Pillars, arches, plateaus,  forests, meadows and “amphitheatres” make this park  a fascinating place to visit (with almost 2 million people doing so last year). Animal and plant life abound as well.    

Although my visit was a few years ago, I welcome another opportunity to visit again – so many additional spots to “venture” into!
