BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK

We were then off to Bryce. Regrettably we got there a bit late so there were not many photos taken in the evening.  The Canyon faces East so it goes into shadow early. We did decide to return to the same overlook in the morning and looked forward to the sunrise opportunities.

 Friday morning we were up early and at our desired point, Sunset Point, with plenty of time to claim a space for our tripods and  set up. We swapped a few stories with a fellow photographer who was from Colorado.

After photographing from the Rim, we took time to go down into the Canyon a short way in order to get a more intimate look at some of the hoodoos,  and different perspective.

By the time we finished the sun was getting quite warm and we were getting quite hungry. We returned to our motel, had breakfast, packed up, and then headed South for a two day visit to North Rim,

Grand Canyon.
