Last Day of Bryce Canyon

 Our last day in Bryce Canyon we decided to hike the Navajo loop and Queen's Garden loop combined to see the most that we could without killing ourselves getting into the canyon. Navajo Loop is supposed to be a bit steeper, so we chose to start with that and come up Queen's Garden. We were hoping that being less steep on the way back up would be easier. It worked out but going down Navajo was interesting. The trail varies from about 3-5 feet wide and just drops off with lots of loose rock, so we had to be careful with our footing and passing people. A little nerve wracking for someone, like me, who is afraid of heights. One of the pics of me on the trail, you will notice I am as far from the edge as possible!














I am not getting any closer to the edge! In the pic below, you can see the trail zigzag back and forth as it descends.

This is Thor's Hammer to the left and below you can see what the trail is like.

The pic to the left is double bridges although they are kind of hard to see. One is very close to the ground.




The pic to the left is supposed to be the profile of Queen Victoria but I think part of her eroded away awhile ago!







This pic to the left and the next couple of pics are from the hoodoo graveyard area where they have all eroded into dirt.



These last pictures were taken from Inspiration Point . Tons of hoodoos to see and a great lookout.









The requisite family pic in front of the Bryce Canyon sign! Below the kids were taking a break on top of the car. The last pic is one that Gavin took and I have no idea how he did it but I thought it looked pretty cool. Very artistic!
