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!
Amaizing Thk you so much !! Thk you for your endeavor to go through n to share those stunning pictures
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your experience and the amazing photos! On the advice of Detlef Palm I will also share soon my experience and photos of summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s roof, reaching Stella Point at an altitude of 5,756 meters above sea level!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Courageous tracker
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of an amazing park, I wished I had seen your photos when we toured the area, but didn't have enough time to explore.
ReplyDeleteWe did a phenomenal 10 week trip around the national parks starting in Badlands last year, Bryce was unreal, we did the helicopter tour before we went inside, and seeing it from above did not even come close to getting into its belly. A true natural wonder.
