Today, the scenery got serious. We made our way through a canyon off the backside of Grand Mesa, and it only got better from there. Bryce topped it all off perfectly (see below). I've seen pictures and heard stories, but the in-person experience was shockingly beautiful. We arrived just before 4:30 and put that 4th grade pass to use after Lucy signed it for the ranger. Then, straight to Sunset Point and Thor's Hammer on the Navajo Loop. The girls were impressed and I loved that we could hike right down into the hoodoos. We waited a long time for the views and now we're just itching to get some more looks tomorrow.
First though, dinner and a night at Ruby's Inn. This was the first tourist lodge at Bryce and now they have beer and a pool. Sure, we have a tent, but lows are below freezing tonight, we're opting for warm, fun, and easy.
