Kodachrome Basin St Pk and Queen's Garden, Bryce

We visited Kodachrome Basin State Park yesterday and today hiked the Queen's Garden trail in Bryce.  What Scenery!!!  Now I have pictures I can paint!!  Tomorrow back to work.
Doesn't this rock look like it is giving us the finger?

This is the landscape of old western pictures.

Just add the cowboys and cattle

We did our first hike down into the canyon called Queen's Garden.

We headed down the trail that starts above 8,100 feet and goes by switchback down, down, down.

We did reach bottom of the steep .08 mile one way trail (it seemed more like 2 miles) but I erased the picture of the rock named Queen Victoria overlooking her garden of hoodoos.  We will just have to hike down again to get that picture.  Going back up was slow in the noon heat but very beautiful.  It is steepest at the top.
