Getting an early start we were able to secure a great campsite at Bryce Canyon NP. The morning was cold but was warming up quickly. Tents went up with some difficultly getting our stakes into the hard ground as our jackets came off.

By noon we were at Inspiration Point to begin our hike to Sunrise Point on the Rim Trail, then descend on the Navaho Trail, and hike through the Queen’s Garden. Ascending back to the rim is always difficult for me, but slow and steady is my style.

Back in the car, we were both tired and a little dehydrated even though we were well supplied with water and electrolytes on the hike.

Now at our campsite we had a couple of dehydrated dinners, jackets came back on, and continued to hydrate while keeping warm at the fire ring.
