Bryce Hoodoos & Arches







Today we decided to drive through Bryce Canyon NP, instead of hiking it. The weather was foreboding, and we were concerned about getting caught in a lightning storm, or a flash flood. Turned out to be a good plan, as when it rained, it was torrential and frightening. We ended up making a mad dash for the car.

The hoodoos of Bryce are incredible. Carved from the ancient ocean that covered this whole area eons ago (no creationists, satan didn't actually put these here 4,000BC), it is amazing to see the heigth and variety amongst them.

We spent a numbe of hours driving about and sightseeing, and never got tired of the view. The arches were especially spectacular, some perfectly round and tens or even hundreds of feet across. Definitely a sight for everyone to see before they die.
