Hoodoo You Love?

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.

I’ve never seen anything quite like it in my travels here in the US and abroad.  The vast amphitheater of weird-shaped rock pillars and geologic formations mesmerized the (fairly) seasoned traveller in me.  “Hoodoo do you love?” they asked in their sweet, enchanting voices.  “You, I love all of you,” I replied.

Pete and I hiked the 3-mile Queens Garden/Navajo Combination Loop, heeding the Bryce Canyon National Park Hiking Guide’s recommendation of clockwise direction.  I’m not sure though if it made any difference.  Either way, I would’ve have been out of breath climbing up.  

Red Canyon

Red Canyon, Dixie National Forest, Utah.

Although we're located between Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks, we decided to start our Utah adventures by exploring Red Canyon.  It’s part of Dixie National Forest and is 10 miles from our campground.  What a way to kick off!  We hiked on Pink Ledges, Hoodoo, Birdseye and Photo Trails.  They’re about 3 miles round-trip through sagebrush, juniper and pinyon trees.
