| no partners | | Darlene and I continued our hiking adventures of Bryce Canyon on day two. The weather was much better from our first day that was cold and windy. The temperature was 45 degrees, mostly sunny with minimal breezes. We parked our car at Sunrise Point and started on the Queen's Garden trial.
The trail was fun with amazing views of the red pinnacles and cute little tunnels. At one point we were entertained by the fattest, little chipmunk. He knew how to play the crowd and we rewarded him with some nuts.
Along that trail it split off to Navajo Loop and Wall Street which ended at Sunset Point. Wall Street was stunning! An absolute must-do when visiting Bryce Canyon. The trail took us between very narrow pinnacles that felt like you were in a cave with the sky high above you. The trail went straight up (or down depending which way you started) with switchbacks. It was absolutely amazing! We were feeling good with excess energy at Sunset Point and decided to hike along the rim to Inspiration Point then back to Sunset Point continuing along the rim to our car at Sunrise Point. My Route Scout froze at some point, so we didn't get the full mileage and I guessed it was around 5 miles.
Very enjoyable with breathtaking views of the hoodoos, unique landscapes, with rather bizarre vegetation and trees. I was told later that the red dirt contains excess iron which makes the trees natural lightning rods. If a lightning strike doesn't kill the tree immediately, it will grow twisted. It's really a sight to see. |
