| Choosing A Hike |
Since Oklahoma, at least, erosion has been on our minds but this view shows the artistry of wind, ice and water. We learned from a ranger that Bryce is not a canyon because, unlike Grand Canyon and Zion, a river does not run through it.

We started on this trail. The very enthusiastic ranger at the Visitors Center had wanted us to save these switchbacks for the END of our hike.

Alan discovered Wasatch, a local Utah brew, at our lodging outside Zion. On the way to Bryce we picked up a six-pack of Evolution Amber, which states on the label, "This beer was part of our protest to the State Legislature to mandate the teaching of intelligent design in our public schools. Church and state should stay separated even in Utah." The tastiest two were on the porch of our cabin in Bryce National Park.

Just before the sun crept up above the eastern horizon, Jupiter was visible above the canyon rim. Martin alerted us to the planet's unusually close proximity and pointed out that the distance was roughly 100,000 times the length of our car trip. So glad we don't have to drive it!

We may not agree on the labeling of this scene, but we did not argue about our last national park being our best. Bryce is spectacular!
