Our Day in Bryce Canyon

Today we explored Bryce Canyon.

We used the shuttle bus and it’s really slick.

They go to the stops every 10 minutes and it’s free. The kids were able to earn their junior ranger badges. After the park, we stopped for ice cream (of course!).

Then, we went to Kodachrome State Park to camp. It was the most beautiful campground I've ever stayed in.  It's tucked back against cliffs with beautiful colorings and interspersed with rock spires.  It was in the high 90’s and there were tons of biting gnats. Everyone was miserable.  In order to escape the heat and the bugs, we tried to get to Grosvenor Arch, a famous double arch.  There was a dirt road to the arch and after a few miles, we encountered a deep puddle on the road the preventd us from getting farther.  We ended up exploring the state park and saw Chimney Rock and Shakespere Arch.  When we got back to the campground, the sun had set and it had cooled off with no more bugs.
