Bryce Canyon 2024

Wowee zowee! Bryce is amazing! I took so many pictures that I haven’t even looked at them all yet. It seemed like any direction a person looked there would be something spectacular, waiting to be photograped.

The shot to the right is looking down on the Navajo Loop Trail. I only went down as far as Two Bridges. Bob went down to the bottom. It was a heck of a steep climb back up, even the short amount I went down. This is the most popular trail in Bryce, and there were many people going up and down it.

Bryce South Scenic Drive

There’s a thing in Bryce called the “Southern Scenic Drive.” It’s an eighteen mile drive that goes where the park shuttle doesn’t. We decided that would be a nice thing to do, and it was. When we got to the top, it started to snow. If you look closely at the shot to the left, you can see snowflakes.

We headed back down, with the snow following us as we went.

Snow in Bryce

We were in Bryce before camping reservations opened, so we had to optimistically show up and hope for a first-come-first-served site. As it turned out, there were plenty of sites in North Campground, and we got a nice one. The biggest merit of being there early in the year was that the park wasn’t so crowded. There were plenty of people around, but it never felt overcrowded.

    Zion is beautiful. It’s a quieter type of beauty than Bryce. I’ve always said that the Siamese that we were owned by for many years before she left us had a personality like a brass band. Bryce has a personality like a brass band. It’s loud, gorgeous, and in your face. Zion is lovely but…

    The Grand Canyon is, of course, spectacular. But. When we visited there, we’d just come from Bryce. The Grand Canyon definitely suffered in comparison.

    We had such a nice time last year that we decided to return to Bodega Bay for another camping trip. Last trip, we stayed in the Bodega Dunes Campground, which is a State of California campground. This was okay, but there aren’t a lot of sites in that one that would work for us. Is…
