4/7 Bryce Canyon and Angel's Palace Hike at Kodachrome

​Angie got us up at 6 am for an early start at Bryce Canyon National Park. There were no rangers at the gate when we arrived. We drove the whole 18-mile sceneic drive along the rim of the ampitheater (basically a canyon without a river running through it). We climbed to to a maximum elevation of 9,100 feet at rainbow point.

The park has the highest conentration of hoodoos (stone spires) of any place in the world.

By the time we arrived back at the campsite, the skies had cleared and the temperatures had warmed to the upper 50s. We did about a two-mile hike with the dogs to the tops of the surrounding walls, which provided amazing vistas of the valley and the distant Bryce Canyon park. 

We fell assleep listening to an audio book - the second volume in Ken Follett's 20th century trilogy. We slept fitfully, while listening to the riveting story.
