May 21

Miles Traveled 65
Total Miles Traveled 3295
Jon and Terry got up to see the sunrise in Bryce Canyon, but it was completely cloudy. They walked part way down a trail anyway. It was about 45 degrees and windy. After breakfast all of us went down the Queen's Garden Trail and up the Navajo Loop Trail. There were many switchbacks on the steep trail but it was worth it to see the canyon up close. It seemed different at every turn. Some of the formations were named things like; Queen Victoria,

Thor's Hammer, Wall Street, the alligator, and more. The hike was quite strenuous and took a couple hours. In the afternoon we drove the rest of the rim to check out the rest of the canyon. Jon was awed at Inspiration Point with the thousands of hoodoos and how far you could see. I think it is our favorite so far. Words can't explain the beauty and we don't think our pictures grasp the grandeur either.

  1. Yes, pictures just don't it justice. You have to be there. The Grand Canyon is the same. Bill and Dorothy stopped by last night to see your blog. We had a nice visit chatting about traveling :-) I think we have caught the bug again. All is well here. Love, MOM
