After enjoying our bbq, I was ready to rally and adventure, Ben not so much. I decided to go explore Bryce Canyon and let Ben relax in the room and catch up on some TV. He actually discovered this show called The UnXplained hosted by William Shatner which he has been obsessed with ever since.
When I glanced at the map, I thought if I were able to get to the Natural Bridge by sunset it would be a great place to photograph. I arrived about an hour before sunset, took a couple photos, and decided to venture on. In the park there is a road that takes you all the way through it. Bryce Canyon has some beautiful, easily accessible view points. Near the end of Bryce Canyon are Rainbow and Yovimpa Point, providing views of the rock layers called the Grand Staircase. The elevation here is 9100 ft and you find yourself surrounded by Blue Spruce, Douglas Fir and White Fir trees. I was fortunate and there were really only a few cars in the parking lot. I was able to walk around and take in the views with only a couple of other tourists.
I made one more stop on the way back and captured the final glow of the sun on a mountain I had viewed on my drive up. Here are the 7 recommended top views in Bryce Canyon.

I was looking forward to tackling a few more of these with Ben tomorrow!
