Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah


First of all Bryce Canyon shouldn’t be called that at all. It should be called Bryce Amphitheater because it was formed by many different streams and rivers so it isn’t technically a canyon.  First my dad and I decided to explore the area.  We biked to the general store, and I asked the question that I had been asking everywhere. “Is there WiFi here?” I’m sorry if it seems a little out of the camping spirit, but the southwest has almost no WiFi, and I was way behind on my Netflix shows. Luckily we learned that there was WiFi, and even better, it was in a pizzeria and coffee shop.  That evening I went to the pizzeria and got a pizza. Then I watched an hour and a half of Netflix.
The next day we did two hikes. First we went on the Queen’s Garden Trail to the Navajo Loop. On the Navajo Loop there is a place called Wall Street.  Wall Street is a canyon carved into the rocks with a traverse that gave a nice view.  The second hike was called the Fairyland Loop. This one was an eight mile hike that reminded me of the Badlands with all the flat, smooth, whitish rock and the lack of plants. When we got to the end we had to walk a mile to the nearest shuttle stop because it didn’t come out to where we were.


Day three was spent driving. My dad rolled me out of bed at seven in the morning before the sun was even up yet! Then we had to take down the camper and drive three hours to Zion National Park
