Bryce Canyon

For Memorial Day weekend we took a much needed vacation to Bryce Canyon National Park. We had been there a few years ago, but it rained (we got drenched!) and so we didn't get to hike through the bottom of the canyon. (It's a lot like a mini Grand Canyon, but with very different formations.) So we went back. And it rained. Yes. Their chart said that it rains an average of five days in May. So we took the ranger's advice and just hiked along the rim (on top) the first day. Here are a few pictures, and then a slide show. I know it's hard to believe, but there are even more pictures than this. :)

We came prepared for rain.

This is the clay that stuck to our shoes. We were glad we weren't at the bottom of the canyon.
After an hour of so of walking in the rain we gave up and went back to our room. Luckily, the weather on Monday worked out better and we got a gorgeous hike in that morning (more pictures to come).
