On to Bryce National Park

We stayed the night at Zion and then had a stunning drive through the hinterland to Bryce National Park. Several people had told us this was a 'must see' and it certainly was. As one person described it, a Disneyland of Hoodoos (Hoodoos are the towering person-shaped rock sculptures that are the highlight of the park).

We were amazed that at least 70% of the visitors were French - and most of the remainder from other European countries - with maybe only 5% American tourists. You very seldom heard English spoken - a bit like in downtown Brisbane(!)

Here are a couple of shots from the park rim and from down amongst the Hoodoos.
The photo doesn't really do the slope justice, but the path is a steep zigzag with 30 or 40 switchbacks. This shot taken from about halfway up.
