Bryce Canyon – Post 1 of 4

Thursday was a “chores” day. I did two loads of laundry, had the oil changed in my car, had the tires rotated, replaced my water bottles, booked more Airbnb’s for the remainder of August through Labor Day weekend, and backed up old photos from my computer so I could delete them to make room for more! So today is a good chance to get caught up posting some of my backlog of pictures from earlier in the trip.

I know these are out of sequence but, finally, here are more photos of Bryce Canyon National Park in southwest Utah, which I visited back on May 30.

If you look very closely in the upper right hand corner of the photo above you will see several naturally occurring holes in the relatively thin wall of a formation.  These holes are called “windows” (I sure hope the government didn’t pay some fancy consultant a half million dollars to come up with THAT term!).

Here is one formation when a cloud was blocking the sun:

And the same formation from a slightly different angle about 30 seconds later when the cloud had passed:

And to keep the size of this massive amphitheater in perspective, if you look closely at the first photo below there are people way down the path, next to the big formation which looks like a castle.  Remember, these formations were all formed by nature.

Here is “Natural Bridge” after the sun came back out:

I had passed this formation on my way in to the Park in the morning and made a note to stop here on the way home when the sun would be behind me:
