Bryce Canyon - Sunday 22nd - 24th JulyThe 'canyon' is actually an amphitheater eroded from cliffs and is full of the most marvellous pink and orange pinnacles, points, steeples, spires and hoodoos (a pinnacle or odd shaped rock left standing by the forces of erosion)! Now go to that hoo doo that you do so well.......
It's impossible to take a picture of how magnificent this place is - as we walked from our campsite to the edge of the amphitheatre this enormous feast of 'eye candy' smacks you in the face - we couldn't take it in and it does literally take your breath away! What's really good about it is that you're allowed to actually 'get amongst' it all - so you can walk through the spires, tunnels etc
We had a couple of great days here before we moved on to Capitol Reef, which is the subject of the next blog! One more thing to mention, our camping resolve was tested to the limit on the first night when a thunderstorm stuck during the night, after 20 minutes of horrendous pounding the seams of the tent give up and water started to drip in. Luckily this story has a happy ending though - an $8 tin of 'Campers Waterproofing' sorted that out and we've been nice and dry since thank you very much!
Off to do some White Water Rafting now - we'll update you all with that story soon!

White water rafting! Suzanne "hair wet"hummm. me thinks the 2 do not go together. sorry suze? thinking of you both. JEN....
The other Jen (sissy) says...use the rafting for a dual purpose. Take along some shampoo, wash and repeat on the calm parts of the river, and let the inevitable dunks take care of the rinsing! Well, you did say you were having trouble getting your showers in!
