Bryce Canyon, Utah (8 pix)

jeffashman · Jun 12, 2023

One of our stops on our trip, and one of my favorites, but I've got to tell you, for someone who has spent most of his life living at 600 ft, hiking at 8000 ft was a real workout. One of my granddaughters and I did a 550 decent on the Navajo Loop Trail, and then back up, and it was a killer, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat, and thankfully I still have one after that...

That's a nice series with the fourth one being the pick for me.

Thank you! Yes, it's an incredible place for hiking, but very taxing for those of us living a sea level.

Very nide set, Jeff. Isn't that where outlaws used to hide out?

Thanks! Wouldn't make a good hideout, as the area was inhabited by the Paiute and then settlers prior to becoming a National Park.

Fabulous set, Jeff!! Perfect, typical red rock country day. Amazing blue skies over the amazing rocky terrain.

I understand completely! I blew a knee out on that very trail once. There's a sad little picture of me somewhere on that trail with my knee all taped up, still shooting pictures. :lol:

And I'd cheerfully do it again! Bryce makes you understand what's worthy. :586:

That first shot is dynamite! Great job with the slot canyon views, too.

Thank you! We descended on the stair side down to Wall Street (I think) and then back up on the slope side. I saw some folks coming the other way, and genuinely thought to myself, "How on earth are they going to make it up those stairs?" The gold medal goes to a lady who made the descent in a foot cast, just because it was a challenge she wanted to conquer.
