 6/2/2025 Bryce Canyon National Park, Crossing the Utah state line

Bryce Tunnel Entrance


I started tracking the fog and mist from this interesting photo 
to others to show how the landscape is never static.
 Drizzling rain and hovering fog might have squelched others' 
plans for the morning hike, but our group didn't mind the amazing synchronicity we were experiencing with the shuttles 
and the knowledgeable drivers. 
Two things we knew immediately: we had to get to Bryce Point and Inspiration Point before the lightning lit up the afternoon sky.




Bryce Canyon
Get ready for an amazing climate change succession of colors.
"Chilly dawn, crystalline blue sky, and rocks ablaze with sunrise.
Cliffs and bulbous columns called hoodoos."
The attractions are multiplying in each neighborhood.
I didn't believe that Joseph actually smelled butterscotch whenever he passed a ponderosa pine (especially if the bark was stripped).
But I sniffed it in the air just a few feet away, then dared him to reenact "A Christmas Story" by licking it with his tongue.


Follow the Trails.
These two amazing works of art were perched 
between the visitor center and the small restroom. 
(Check out the scale provided 
by the guy in the Carolina blue shirt.)
