Day 17 Utah - Bryce National Park

Day 17:
Oct 13, 2015:
A quiet night with the cows…
Today was Bryce National Park day.  Last night’s overnight parking spot was very close to Bryce so in 15 minutes we were at the visitor’s center.  We pretty much knew that we would come back another time through here so we gathered info and did a simple hike. 








Walking in Bryce National Park
Next time we will come more prepared to spend at least one night in the park campground (David’s senior status will nab us ½ price then…) and concentrate on certain hikes that we both want to do.  I appears once you get on the longer hikes the crowds diminish dramatically.   We also found a backdoor access to one of the hikes that will enable us to not even have to stay in the park for one of the hikes.





The scenery/hoodoos here are quite outstanding – colorful and something that you don’t see in any other park.  I was Bryced out by 4pm and off we were to find our parking spot for the night.  About 15 minutes  from Brice we found our spot (so far it is just us) in Dixie National Forest (free dispersed camping in National Forests).  This is the first time we have used the National Forests and so far so good.  We have to pick and choose the road quality and make sure it is not 10 miles in, etc.  This one is only ½ from the road but easy access.





Yeah, it looked like just us there but there was a line of people
waiting to take this same shot...nothing like a national park!








We will be back to hike down in here:)
