Leaving Zion late (I got confused with the changing time zones) on Monday 24 March 2008, we were aiming to get to Bryce Canyon National Park before sunset to catch the late evening light. Bryce offers a very different perspective to Zion, looking down onto the hoodoos in the Bryce Amphitheatre. Not sure why but Bryce only seems to get a million visitors a year and the shuttle service wasn't up and running yet so at least we got to drive around ourselves.
We drove into the park and found Sunset Point but with only the last rays of the setting sun lighting the tops of the hoodoos. Managed some photos but really too late so we headed back out of the park to our hotel for the evening.
Up early on Tuesday 25 March 2008, we headed back into the Park before breakfast to catch the sunrise from Sunrise Point. We were probably a bit too early, especially as it was a very cold morning! We then kept driving around the Bryce Amphitheatre to Bryce Point and Inspiration Point. As well as the various 'lookovers' at each Point, we walked down into the Amphitheatre a bit at Inspiration Point which provided a good alternative perspective on the hoodoos. A visit to the visitors' centre completed our flying tour of Bryce Canyon.
Back to our hotel, breakfast and we were off to Capitol Reef National Park ...
