Hiking the Hoodoos
This hike at Bryce Canyon National Park was at 7,600 feet. After the marker medal, I have 2 photos of how steep and how smooth the baked sandstone appears from the top. Yes, that is a person at the bottom of the third photo. It was a bit daunting, but as I got closer, it wasn't as bad as it looked and so I kept on going down like Alice because I wanted to see what was there and not because I had taken a pill. So follow along with me and meet the Queen of England, to the final photo of a hoodoo eclipse. It was three miles of sharp down, level , and sharp up. I started at 8:30 and finished about noon because I stopped and took photos, talked to people, rested, drank water, and savored lots of Mad Hatter Hoodoos. Woo-Hoo. One of my best hikes ever. I hiked the Hoodoos the last year of my sixth decade.
