Bryce Canyon National Park: Bryce Canyon, UT

Bryce Canyon National Park is an incredibly beautiful place. I was blown away by the architecture of the rock. It is a hoodoo wonderland.




Is looks like an enchanted fairy land.
Or an ancient, crumbling fort.








Maddie and Max were resting and waiting for the ranger talk on geology.












Here they are becoming Junior Rangers. Todd bought them ranger hats afterwards.
We watched the Visitor's Center movie, Todd's favorite part, and Max fell fast asleep.
We barely scratched the surface of this park. We were able to visit many f the scenic outlooks. We did a few small hikes. But we definitely need to come back and hike down into the hoodoos on the Fairyland Loop.
The kids were so worn out because we have been on the go for so many weeks now.
The heat makes it difficult for them also.
I hope we can bring them back when they are a little older and stronger to explore some more.

Know Before or After You Go: Your kids can become official Geodetectives by visiting the Geodetectives portion of the Bryce website. Learn at least three new things about geology and they will mail you a cool patch.
