Bryce Canyon National Park - part 1

June 14, 2011

Bryce Canyon is not far from Zion, so we got there about noon and spend the afternoon casing the place to see what appealed to us in the way of a hike.








Alex and Zack checking out the view of the Bryce Canyon Amphitheater at one of the overlooks. The air was a bit smoky from a prescribed burn in the area. Hopefully tomorrow the air will be clearer.







The trail into what is called "Wall Street" looked pretty interesting; it goes down a steep series of switchbacks and disappears into a very narrow passageway.  We will try this trail tomorrow.








Back at our campsite, Zack is demonstrating the proper posture for playing the DS.








While Alex was thoroughly engrossed in his reading on the Kindle.








After dinner, Alex and Zack toasted marshmellows.











A tentative tasking of his marshmellow culinary skills.








"Hey, it tastes pretty good. Not bad, if I do say so myself".

Tomorrow we hike into the Bryce Amphitheater to see it up close.
