We woke up in an unbelievably great mood this morning. Surprising considering the absolutely brutal day we had the day before along with waking up shivering cold in the middle of the night because we underestimated how chilly it would be. I guess we were still floating on the awesome experience of the last few days. We took our time around camp and also took some time to straighten out the disaster that our van had become along the way. After eating and chores we took off to do a day hike on the Queens Garden Trail. An easy 4 miles after the terrain we just took on.
The rock formations, called Hoodoos, in Bryce were really out of this world. The layer of the Colorado Plateau that makes up Bryce is not present in the Grand Canyon, so while similar in some ways, it was at the same time very new.
After the hike we went back to camp to lounge around camp, drink wine and work on the blog. That night we opened a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon we had been saving from Halter Ranch and cooked a tomato onion butter sauce. Eating by the light of my grandfathers old Coleman lantern from the 50's was a little slice of heaven. After dinner we sat by a nice warm campfire and enjoyed the stars.
