Bryce Canyon: Sunrise Point

Over the next few days, I’ll be posting pictures from the different stops at Bryce Canyon.  Instead of having 1 HUGE post that was filled to the brim with pictures, I decided to just do a series of posts with a selection of pictures for each location.

For our trip to Bryce Canyon, we took our handy Your Guide to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.  Before each stop, I would read all the information presented in the book for that stop.  We would then take the book with us to the location, so we knew exactly what we were looking at.  We enjoyed the fact that we were able to enjoy this National Monument from a Creation viewpoint.

The tour of Bryce Canyon starts at the visitor’s center where we picked up the Junior Rangers booklet for Munchkin.  Unfortunately, she was unable to become a junior ranger this time around because we were required to do one of the ranger talks.  We didn’t care to listen to any of the talks offered, so she just did the other tasks and completed the booklet.

As we started up with our tour, it started to sprinkle.  Since it was cool, the rain and wind made it a bit chilly.  We chose to just drive from location to location.  We parked and hiked to the location as was necessary. You’ll see in the pictures that it was a rather cloudy, dreary day. We still enjoyed the experience.

You can see some of the beginning of the Queen’s Garden Trail that we would come back later in the week to hike. After Munchkin saw this trail, she knew that she wanted to hike it when the weather was better, and she was feeling better.

Up next… Sunset Point.
