Navajo Loop
Sunset Campground
Partners none no partners
I hiked the "Figure 8" hoodoo hike as described in the Bryce Canyon National Park Visitors Guide. I started out clockwise down the Queens Garden Trail. I remember some of it from hiking here almost 43 years ago. Then at the Peek-a-boo junction I went counter-clockwise around the Peek-a-Boo Trail. then went up the Wall Street Section of the Navajo Trail. As the Visitor Guide says: "Combine Queens Garden, Peekaboo Loop, and Navajo Trail into one ultimate hike!". Hope to come back in another 43 years to hike it again :y:

Part of a Zion NP - Bryce Canyon NP 5 day weekend. With my friend & trainer Hoem Winn and his 7 year old son Van Lathen (the reason for the McDonald's stops).

Sunrise Point to Sunset Point Rim Trail
Sunset Campground
Ruby's Inn Lake Loop
Partners none no partners
After Peekaboo and Queens Garden we drove over to Fairyland Point and went out along Fairyland trail and back. Then we took the Rim trail towards the visitor center. After about a mile or so I told the others to carry on and I would drive around and pick them up.

Good choice - I drove around and when I got to Sunrise Point where I would pick them up a huge thunderstorm rolled in and soaked everyone but me! I guess worse than that was the lightning was a bit scary walking along the exposed rim trail. I was nice and dry in the vehicle in the campground. After the storm went I walked down to meet the others.
