Day 4: Bryce Canyon Continued

Sunrise point was our first and very impressive stop at Bryce. The wildlife was very tame making it almost impossible to leave this observation point. This woodpecker paid no attention to us no matter how closely we approached it.

Bryce Point

Eager to see more landscapes, we moved on to the next destination on the Bryce Canyon map – Bryce Point.

Paria View

Paria View was the next stop. It has its own different character.

National Bridge

Another impressive spot was the National Bridge.

Agua Canyon

Another view from Bryce Canyon. Agua Canyon is smaller and just as spectacular as the rest.

Maybe these streams are the reason for the canyon’s name?

Ponderosa Canyon

Ravens are so tame in Bryce Canyon. They follow your car as you drive between viewpoints. This raven flew along with our minivan.

But, we are here to look at the views. Ponderosa Canyon was amazing! It looks like a deep vertical chasm.

Black Birch Canyon

We didn’t see any black birches here. The canyon is a great example that Bryce is not really a canyon, but rather an escarpment.

Yovimpa Point

Last, but not least stop at Bryce is the majestic Yovimpa Point. The fresh snow and contrasting pines made it even more beautiful.

Leaving Bryce Canyon

Inspired by the views and vast spaces of Bryce Canyon, we reluctantly head toward the exit. The day was well spent. Our ship cat is comfy on her dashboard and looking forward to getting back to our Escalante campsite.

Tired and happy, we are ready for some food and rest. The next day brings more adventures.
