Bryce Canyon

 After the Timpanogos Festival, Trish and I drove down into Southern Utah for a few days at Bryce Canyon National Park.

The trip in itself is spectacular as you drive through the beautiful rock formations of The Red Canyon on the journey.

We stayed in the Bryce Canyon National Park Lodge, almost on the edge of the canyon itself.  Less than five minutes from our room we were on the spectacular Rim Trail.

The scenery of the Canyon is breathtaking. It reminds me of a giant version of the Magic Rocks I loved to grow in a jar when I was a child.  You can look down and see tiny people walking on trails deep in the canyon and get a perspective on how large the scene really is.

One of the fascinating things to see here are the trees and the way they find a tiny hold and cling to life in the Canyon.  They get a grip and continue to grow even as the land erodes with the wind right out from under them.  They never give up!

We keep wondering what the first humans who came upon this place thought upon seeing it!
