Bryce Canyon National Park

We were told Bryce was was of the most beautiful places in the world and we agree 100%. It was spectacular. We hiked 3 miles down into the canyon, starting in an area called "Wall Street". We followed this switchback trail down into the canyon with Sandstone walls towering above. We loved the Hoodoos, a pillar of rock, usually a fantastic shape, left by erosion. Hoodoo means to cast a spell. We all saw fun and fanciful forms in the Hoodoos. I Hoodoo, do you? The colors varied from red, orange, and cream. And how trees could grow here is beyond me, but they do!
We camped in a sweet little campsite within the park, no showers or electricity, but we'll see civilization again sometime soon. The simplicity of our journey is special. The one thing we all have been noticing is that we are the minority in the National Parks. 75% of the visitors are from other countries. We have gone entire days without hearing English spoken. It makes me proud to be an American experiencing the wonderful parks of our country, but sad that not all Americans will see them in their lifetime. Do yourselves a favor and get out there! You won't be disappointed.
I am also happy to report, if you have been following the kids blogs, that they are back on track and caught up.
