Bryce Canyon

I spent a little more than a day at Bryce Canyon National Park. I'd never been there before so I was pretty excited when I got there and it wasn't terribly crowded. I drove the auto tour road the night I got there. It's gorgeous. Pretty unique scenes. The next morning I went to a ranger talk on geology. Pretty disappointing. Ah well. Then I started hiking. I did a few of the below rim trails and after a few miles I didn't see too many people. That night I went to another ranger talk - this one on astronomy. This guy was good! I learned some new info and got to look through a few mighty nice telescopes. My last morning there I got up early to catch the sunrise. I got all set up where I wanted to be and then a busload of Asians plowed through. I considered things for a bit, then relocated. Good decision. The sunrise itself was less than spectacular, but the colors it revealed on the rocks were incredible. Worth the wait.
