The South Riding RV Travels

October 17th - Bryce Canyon National Park UT - part 2

There is a road off to the east as the main road returns to the camp entrance. This leads to Bryce Point and the aptly named Inspiration Point.
Here you have a whole amphitheatre of points sticking up from the valley floor. The scale of this is just breathtaking.
Also from this area you can travel around the huge natural amphitheatre that is encompassed by Sunrise and Sunset Points where the views change with the shadows of the day.
It becomes impossible to find suitable descriptive words. This has to be just one of those places in the world which you have to actually see to comprehend.
Even this photo only shows about half of the depth of this cliff. We could not get anywhere where the camera would show any more.
We did move on to just outside the park and almost opposite our campground, where we found Fairyland Point. Here in the late afternoon we found a fantastic landscape complete with areas known as the Grotto, and pinnacles known as the Dwarves.
Walking out a little way along the trail to 'Tower Bridge' the rock was a little smoother, but only on the top of a still precipitous cliff.
And as the sun sets in the west, the shadows rise up from the canyon floor. This must count as one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world.
