Bryce Canyon

We went to Vegas by way of Bryce Canyon.  Fun fact, the area in front of the canyon was the home of a settler named Ebenezer Bryce.  He is said to have said in reference to the canyon that "it was a hell of a place to lose a cow." Because it was more of less in his backyard,  it became known as Bryce's Canyon.

Nearly everyone we passed on the trail spoke a different language proving to the kids that other people than their crazy parents think this stuff is cool and worth seeing, not just "rocks, rocks, and more rocks, with some trees" sigh. They are such barbarians. We tried. 

 

We went on a short hike down into a canyon on the Navajo Trail which was only about a mile or so each way,  but wow, windy steep trail.  The hoodoo's were really beautiful!
