Today we woke up early in the morning and headed to Bryce Canyon. Upon arriving we checked out the visitor center and learned about all the trails. Then we went prairie dog watching because at the park it was Prairie dog day, they were very interesting to watch. We headed out after and ended up taking the Navajo trail and the Peak-a-Boo loop trail. In total we hiked miles, most of it was uphill and switch backs. Honestly I can not describe the view because it is so breathtaking and you can just tell that it was all made by God's hand. The sky was an unreal blue, and no clouds in sight, the rocks were all shades of red and white sometimes. All in unreal formations, at one part we saw a tree that's trunk was all twisted up and on the sigh it said that they had no idea how the trees grew that way. We all had a wonderful time and it was a challenge to us all. Luckily Mom read the map and listened to it, we went the easy way up and down. Along the way though we saw a ton of horse poop which smelled just lovely. (They had eaten grass) We had a lovely lunch and relaxed for a while till Mom went crazy because of the crowds. Then we went to the visitor center and had some more prairie dog fun, and got a junior ranger badge. We hiked one more time to the moss cave and saw the natural stream made from the water seeping through rocks. Type more later with pictures leaving now. Bye!

Good day, This is a test to see if I can post, Mom/Grandma
ReplyDeleteMy computer says my comments are now being published (with a lot of help from Uncle Bryce). Alise, I really enjoy your posts, you are a very entertaining writer. (yes, your Dad is also, but you also have a gift). After not hearing from you all for so many days, I was beginning to worry, but now realize the problem was the area you were in.
ReplyDeleteReading the blog, I have three comments: (1) your Dad and Mom did a super planning job for this trip, and (2) I'm so glad you're all having these wonderful experiences, and (3) What were your parents thinking going off on a hike and leaving my two dear grandsons alone in the wilderness??
The blog is a great idea for keeping us all part of your ESA; and also will come in real handy when you all have to return to school this fall ( )-: ), and you have to compose those wonderful "What I Did This Summer Vacation" essays. You can just go to the blog and print out a day or two!!
Lastly, your Uncles and the Willis' are really into the World Cup Soccer Games, maybe you will get some on the computer in your down time? Love ya,
