An evening view of Bryce Canyon
National Park
Bryce Canyon is not really a canyon at all. Like Cedar Breaks, it is an amphitheater -- or in this case, perhaps a `series of amphitheaters' would be a better description. I had originally planned to stay overnight here, but changed my mind when I saw thunderstorms headed for the area. This was probably a wise decision as the overnight temperatures (posted on a board at the visitor's center) the next day were, well, let me just say `below the ones I like', and it had indeed rained (and was still sprinkling).
The whole area is amazingly scenic. It may not be that easy to take great pictures here, but it is hard to take really bad ones.
I took a lot of pictures here. It has been a few years, though, and I have forgotten exactly where each one was and cannot really write a good description for them. The thumbnails do not show much, so instead, here is a simple list of the pictures and what I do remember, if anything. I do remember that the Wall Street path was closed, so none of these are views from there.
