Day 8

REST DAY! No one up early well at least before 10am.
But we wanted to get to Bryce Canyon, which was about 7 miles away. It’s amazing that you actually don’t see the canyon system until you are literally on the edge. The drive up through Dixie Forest was leisurely, and we were all asking “where’e the canyon?”. Into Bryce National Park and still nothing. We parked the van and a shuttle bus took us up to a drop off, still nothing to see. We walk about 20 yards and boom, there’s the canyon. Absolutely breathtaking, and as a backdrop the Aquarius Plateau at 10000 feet+, the highest plateau in the US. Spectacular.
We walked some of the canyon walks (not much of a rest day!!), one was the Sunrise to Sunset canyon walk. About 5 miles but down to the bottom and then back up to appear at another ridge of the canyon.
Suffice it to say what a rest day.
Back on the road early tomorrow.
