Bryce Canyon is not a single canyon, but a series of natural amphitheaters carved into the edge of a high plateau. The most famous of these is the Bryce Amphitheater, which is filled with eroded towers of rocks called hoodoos. The park has 4 main viewpoints that are very popular: Bryce Point, Inspiration Point, Sunset Point, and Sunrise Point.

We were LOADED down with gear by the time we made it to Bryce Canyon. You can see a picture of the bike in the comparison images below. I felt like either 1. a Queen on a throne or 2. one of the Clampetts from the Beverly Hillbillies. I think we had already mailed clothes home by this point :).
The view overlooking the hoodoos was fantastic. It was a little windy, but being mid-June, the breeze felt nice.
We stayed in a hotel right at the entrance and I found the village very charming. There were many things to look at and several items I wish I could’ve bought and brought home as souvenirs. We explored old vehicles, saw dinosaur bones, fossilized wood, and Bryan landed himself in jail for a spell.
