Bryce and Red Canyons

---

Well I am writing on Saturday Oct 11. However I am writing about Wednesday. We are behind because of the lack of wifi hotspots. I am stealing one from another motel at the present. Wednesday was spent mostly in Bryce Canyon. We hiked into the hoodoos at the bottom of the canyon. This was a difficult hike but well worth it. It is like a fairyland hike with all the hoodoos and cliffs surrounding us. Latter we hiked into
Red Canyon and up to an area with 15 arches. The pictures I am uploading presently are from these
areas. Yesterday Friday we drove through the grand staircase escalante NP. We hiked Kodachrome state
park. There we saw a rock formation that looked like Fred Flintstone. This was an easy hike across the desert floor. We also hiked up the Petrified Forest State Park. This was a difficult hike. It was definitely well worth it. You could actually count the growth rings on some of the trees. The colors were incredible. We drove the Aquarius Plateau which is the highest plateau in the world with trees. I will include pictures from Friday and today later. As stated earlier this is just Wednesday I am loading.

P.S. Robin chose the photos. I would have included some with her.
