Day 30 - Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park is uniquely characterized by the tall Hoodoos (yes, this is an official geology term) that stick up like columns. I didn't take this picture (found it on the web), but it gives you a picture of what we saw this afternoon. The views were stunning, but the coolest part of the day was hiking down into these structures. Imagine hiking down inside a narrow valley surrounded by columns on either side. Unfortunately, we discovered this trail when we returned to view the stars. If we would have found the trail during the day, we would have hiked all of it. At twilight, we were limited by how far we could go. Levi, Seth, and Brandon went about 200 feet below the rim while I stayed back about 50 feet below the rim. Tomorrow we will drive to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We won't have any cellular or wi-fi service for several days. It will be our first attempt at primitive camping (no water source attached to the RV and no electricity).
