Memorial Day Weekend: Bryce Canyon (3 of 3)

The last day and a half of our trip took us to Bryce Canyon. It has a pretty amazing landscape with all these strange rock structures called "hoodoos."

We took a 3-mile hike into the canyon.

Power fist!

This looks like a dragon. Or a rabid Alf.

Crocodile? Pelican? Snipe?

A couple natural bridges in the canyon.

The taller structure on the left is called "Thor's Hammer."

After hiking up a couple hundred feet of switchbacks, we came across some chipmunks - an apparent mother and child. The mother kept trying to lead the baby out of this hole and down the canyon. The baby was reluctant / afraid. We watched for about ten minutes with some other folks - four different languages were being spoken but when the mother finally carried the baby in its mouth down the canyon, there was a collective "Awww!"

A pair of familiar folks standing over the canyon.

This is what was behind us.

Here are some more shots around the park.

More wildlife.

A waterfall in the middle of the desert.

A final look back at the park before driving to SLC again.

What a fun weekend!
