Day 66 - Bryce Canyon National Park - 6748 miles

Welcome to Bryce Canyon. The home of the Hoodoos. A hoodoo is a pinnacle or odd shaped rock left standing by the forces of erosion. There are thousands of these rock formations, some several hundred feet high. We will be here for two days. Tuesday we leave for Canyonlands and Arches. Both are in southeast Utah. The next opportunity to email will be on May 7 from Pocatello, Idaho. So this is the last you'll hear from us for about 5 days. Hopefully we will be able to check emails in between, but the blog picture uploads take a lot of time. Today we are in a KOA log cabin, as the winds are howling at 28 mph constant, with gusts up to 47 mph. The temperature is right around 25F, making the wind chill around 0F. Too much fun for an evening in a tent. The weather gets better starting tomorrow. Woohoo! A reminder picture is that we are over 9000 feet in elevation. That is 3000 feet higher than Mt. Washington in NH. So there is lots of snow up here. Sure will be nice to get rid of these snowbanks.



Hoodoos. Thousands of them.





If you look closely, you'll see some tall Ponderosa pines in the middle of the picture. Not sure how tall those pines are, but it'll help you to get a perspective on the height of the hoodoos.

Can you find the rock bridge in this picture?
