Here we are at Byrce Canyon overlooking the Amphitheater. It is actually not a Canyon, created by erosion by frost in rock crevices and the dissolving power of rainwater have shaped the colorful limestone rock of the Claron Formation into bizarre shapes including slot canyons, windows, fins, and spires called "hoodoos."
It was named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce one of the early settlers in the Valley below. He said it was a hell of a place to lose a cow.
The weather is beautiful and the place is hopping so we head straight to the only campground open. We are lucky to fit into one of the last 2 sites remaining!
Time to start up the Hike a Day!
Till Later!
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n

We lived in Salt Lake City several years in the late 1960's and spent time in southern Utah. It is really nice there.
