We arrived at Bryce in the late morning and were lucky enough to grab a premier camp site! It is about 12 feet from the rim trail. We have a little side path that leads up to it. We couldn't have planned this any better. The sites filled up soon after we arrived so we feel doubly fortunate.
The views from the rim are so dramatic! Of course they were pretty spectacular from the canyon too. We took the Navaho Loop trail to the Queen's Garden trail and saw several of the famed hoodoos. It seemed like there was another "Wow!" moment at each bend of the trail.
Another dramatic scene today was the smoke rolling in from a forest fire about 75 miles away in the town of Brian Head within the Dixie National Forest. We had noticed a white haze approaching Bryce this morning but by late afternoon it was thick and dark over portions of the park. The sun looked crimson through the dark gray.
