Bryce Canyon National Park

So, by the time we made it to Bryce Canyon it was getting late and the sun was setting. We had began our day in Flagstaff, Arizona. We visited Sunset Crater NP, Wupataki NM, Grand Canyon NP and finally made it to Bryce Canyon NP, with our hotel for that night being in Provo, Utah. We knew when we got to Bryce it was going to need to be a fast hike. We made it down and back in about an hour. Let's just say we were surprised at how well we all did, especially Tiffany. She pretty much ran back up the switchbacks. By the time we got back up to the top the sun had set.

The last time we hiked Bryce, I was in terrible shape and I thought I was going to have to be carried out. {snicker, snicker}. This time I was prepared. I had been running 3-4 miles a day for about 4 months before we left. And, I am proud to say, even with the elevation difference, I did pretty well!

On the drive out of the park, we saw many deer grazing in the evening shadows. One deer right next to our van door. Tiffany really thought that was neat! It was a great way to end the visit to the park.

We finally rolled into Provo, Utah about 1:00am....with Tori puking in the back seat as we came into her birth place. Ron and I couldn't help but laugh, we were so tired, and everything seemed funny by that time.
