Bryce Canyon was about an hour in the other direction, so of course we had to see it!
The rock formations were very different, made of "hoodoos" - columns of rock that looked like stalagmites.
We drove into the park and enjoyed all the sights on the way in.

One of a couple rock tunnels! |
We took the shuttle into the park, as suggested. Some of our group got off at a stop and hiked to our lunch spot. Some of us just enjoyed the shuttle ride and our funny driver.
After a long lunch, we all walked along the sunrise path. It's the last leg of an 11 mile hike, the shortest leg...but the views are spectacular.

Looking over the hoodoos and into Bryce Canyon. |
It was the last day with all the family together, and I'm glad we chose to spend it here. Although it's not the most sophisticated analogy, I would have to say that Bryce Canyon seems like someone made Thunder Mountain from Disneyland into a real thing (minus the railroad). Either that or Disneyland really did a good job creating a tiny Bryce Canyon!
