Bryce Canyon isn’t really a canyon, because it was not created by a river. We’ve been learning a lot about geology, and the formations in Bryce are awesome and eerie. They are called hoodoos. The native Americans avoided Bryce because they thought that these formations were humans that had been turned into stone.
We rode mules into the bottom of the canyon, which was great and, at times, terrifying. Mules like to walk VERY close to the edge. They mostly just follow the guy in front, but it was still scary.
After we got off the mules, we then walked ourselves into the canyon, which meant we had to walk back up. Hot, dehydrated, and exhausted after seeing some beautiful marvels.
