We then drove to the other end of Bryce Ampitheater to Sunrise Point, where we decided to hike down into the canyon along the Queens Garden Trail.
When we began this hike, we thought we'd only hike down a little way along the trail and then go right back up. We were looking for a short, not too strenuous hike.
Before we knew it we were near the bottom, so we decided to continue our hike and climb back up on the Navajo Loop Trail by Sunset Point. And then hike back to our car by the Rim Trail.
As we hiked along the trail, we passed under several arches through the rocks. The picture above is of one of these arches.
And this picture was taken looking back through the arch along the trail we had just hiked.
Here is a last panoramic photograph taken after we had climbed to the top of the canyon at Sunset Point.
We spent the rest of the day, eating dinner at the Bryce Canyon Lodge, and after sunset we star gazed at Fairyland Point.
The next morning we visited Zion National Park.
