Bryce Canyon

Today is a "free" day and Carole & I are NOT going sightseeing!  We are doing chores and catching up on the blog!  Thursday we toured Bryce Canyon and so far I think it is my favorite.  Each canyon has a different look - Bryce reminds me of cotton candy because of the coral color and airy feel it has in its formations.  We signed up for a guided tour and then went back and took Latte for a car ride at sunset to view Sunset Point.  It was a marvelous day.

A couple pictures to give you an idea of the formations - the columns are called Hoodoos!






One section of Bryce is called the Ampitheatre and this picture captures just a part of it - it is awesome in real life!  We were warned not to put our cameras, ipods or keys down at this overlook because of the wildlife pictured below.


There are 2 Ravens who live here, Frick & Frack, and we were told that they are highly intelligent, and also steal things!



They finally took me out for a car ride at sunset and let me look at the wildlife - but what a tease!  They wouldn't let me out of the car!!  The picture above shows the male mule deer & below are the females



I even got to see chipmunks - but I couldn't play with them!
