and the deer and the antelope play continued.....

"You're taking us to see MORE rocks?" wailed the children.  Ah, but they had never seen rocks like these before, that's for sure, as we ventured into Bryce Canyon, the land of hoodoos, jagged cliffs, and deep valleys. "Hoo what?" you ask...Hoodoos - strangely shaped rock formations that have been formed when ice and rainwater wear away at the weak limestone that make up much of the canyon. We had a wonderfully exhausting time of hiking, day after day, and then taking much needed soaks in a hot tub at night to ease our poor aching muscles.  (Ruby's Campground lets their campers use the pool and hot tub affiliated with their hotel. We were so blessed!) Seeing God's handiwork all around us was just breathtaking. Scenery I had never imagined existed, just spread out before us. The sunrise, Greg and I sneaked out for at Inspiration Point, was just beautiful.  Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah is truly worth a visit. We also had a chance to glimpse plenty of wildlife such as Pronghorn Antelope, Mule Deer, Utah Prairie Dogs, Golden Mantle Ground Squirrels, Uinta Chipmunks and a strange looking mammal called "tourist". Oh yes, that was one of us.  Click on the link below called "Bryce Shots" and see a small slide show of our pics. Hope you enjoy!    Bryce Shots Can you find the Lion Hoodoo in this picture below? Hint: it is to the right of the tree. Have a wonderful day
