Continuing our Tour de Kodak to fill out the mud-shortened day previously planned, we stumbled over to hit up Angel's Palace and the Nature Trail before taking advantage of the park's marvelous shower facilities. The Nature trail is pointless unless you are fulfilling a goal of posing for suggestive photos with every sandpipe spire in the park :oops: :-$ . The Palace had a fair number of people hiking it, despite the somewhat sketchy 150 foot climb. The views are pretty good and make this one worth it for any septuagenarian and their grandkids who are camping here.

Wife and I tacked this trail on after doing Angel’s Palace. Short trail, with occasional signage about the foliage/ area as well as several pithy sayings about nature. Not much to say about the trail…easy to follow, made of crushed rock and relatively flat so it should be accessible for all. Some of the rock formation are noteworthy as you complete the loop. No wildlife. Had the trail to ourself.

1st trip
since we were staying in cannonville again, decided to spend much of the day at kodachrome basin state park
had a big girl breakfast at rustler's while waiting for temps to rise a bit, then headed out mid morning
did the very short nature trail first
next, angel's palace, climbing up onto and circling a little butte
good overview of the park and some interesting rock formations
biggest hike of the day was on the panorama trail, at six miles if you include all the side trips
secret passage, cool cave and panorama point are worth exploring
nice views from the point
drove out to chimney rock and had some lunch
finished with shakespeare arch - sentinal trail
we skipped the grand parade trail
good sampler of the park
drove down cottonwood canyon road to see grosvenor arch
impressive double arch and a nice scenic drive
backtracked to tropic for some IDK BBQ - yum!
