Bryce Canyon National Park



Of all the parks we visited, Bryce probably offered the least variety.  But, that is NOT to say that we found it boring, not in the least! The chief entry into Bryce is a long road winding upward from maybe 5000 feet up to 9000+ feet.  Along the way, you can see different views of the long winding Bryce Canyon, there are plenty of places to pull off, and take in, G^d’s creation.

At the far end of the park is a very gentle trail, unlike those of Zion NP, and we enjoyed a very pleasant walk.  The trail was lined not only with Douglass Fir and White Fir, but also with ground squirrels.

Bryce Canyon itself is beautiful… but it doesn’t change all that much from the start to the finish. And life is a lot that way. We have the initial thrill of a new wife (I don’t mean changing wives…), a new job, a new child, a new home. But, after that, things aren’t nearly so exciting.

But we made the long climb to the top, and it was nice to get there and feel the cool air and see the Alpine vegetation and air clarity. Perseverance pays off, in Bryce Canyon Park, and in many aspects of live.
