Bryce Canyon June 2022

 This was our first time hiking extensivly in the canyon. We did Fairyland, Queens Garden/Peakaboo, and Swamp Canyon loop. We drove up on a thursday and hiked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.



The first view of the canyon at Bryce point.



One of the trails down that we later hiked.







Friendly raven at natural bridge lookout.


















On our first hiking day we started down from Sunrise point to hike Fairyland trail counter clockwise. We spotted a car at Fairyland point to shorten the hike by 2.5 miles of rim walking.

The morning light was very good.
