Shakespeare Arch Trail

Red Rock Canyon, with the moon in the background

On Tuesday, our last day of work this week, Danita got laryngitis. She had two fort tours in the afternoon. Another ranger took her first tour and I took her second. We were both tired by the end of the day. Wednesday we were still both tired. I slept in until after 6, which is later than I’ve slept for many months. I’ve been popping the “C” and Cold-Eeze. So far, I’ve felt mildly under the weather, but that’s it. Danita seems to feel pretty good, other than that she can’t talk. We took it easy Wednesday, doing our grocery shopping and minimal chores.

Angle’s Palace Trail

By Thursday, we were feeling good. That’s a very good thing because we had reservations for a hotel room near Bryce Canyon. Bryce is a little over 2-hours from Pipe Spring. We could have visited Bryce in one day. But we decided to make it an overnight trip. Today, we visited Kodachrome park. Tomorrow, we’ll be at Bryce to watch the sunrise over their main amphitheater. Driving up, we also saw Red Rock Canyon, which is a very small but visually stunning area.

Hoodoo Ahead

Kodachrome is a nice park. Because it’s 30 minutes beyond Bryce and because we’re in the shoulder season, it wasn’t crowded at all. We walked two short trails and saw some amazing countryside. Following my new hobby, we ate our luncheon sandwich at Angel’s Palace and our luncheon banana at Shakespeare’s Arch.

Kodachrome Park Fickle Finger of Fate

By 3, we had seen enough. We went to the Bryce visitor center to get advice for tomorrow, buy a coffee cup, and watch the park video. Then we went to our hotel room. The WiFi is both weak and slow. But for $70, this is a very nice room.
