Bryce Canyon - Does It Get Any Prettier Than This?

I don't think so. The only problem with this National Park is that all the hikes go down first, and then you have to walk back up.

But, since we had two cars, we left my car down the hill on a road out of Tropic, and did an all downhill hike.

We started up here at Sunset Point -

Walked down past Thor's Hammer -

Down some steep switchbacks -

To the bottom of the Navajo Loop Trail, where we saw Two Bridges.

We then continued down a gentle slope, remembering to turn around often to see the beauty we were leaving behind.

By the time we got to the car left below, the pretty scenery had disappeared, but it was so nice not to have to climb back up.

Also on the road to Tropic is a short hike on the Mossy Cave Trail.
What? A waterfall in the desert???

The water flows in the Tropic Ditch, and has run for over a century. Mormon farmers diverted water from the East Fork of the Sevier River to irrigate fields around Tropic City.

We also saw a triple arch -

And a Mossy Cave! It is kept moist by an underground spring, and sometimes has icicles until June, but not this year.

I've been to Bryce Canyon many times over the years, but this was the first time I did this hike. It was great, and there's more to come.
