“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”- Psalm 90:2
Before arriving at Bryce, we drove through Red Canyon, which was spectacular! Of course, we had to stop and take several pictures, including one where John drove the truck through a rock arch. I think the arch was man-made, but it was fun. I jumped out of the truck and headed up the road to take the picture as he came through the archway.

Once in Bryce Canyon, we drove another 36-mile loop drive (18 miles up and 18 miles back down). There were 13 places to stop and explore. The first one we stopped at was Sunrise Point. This was a huge area with an unbelievable overlook into the canyon. It was amazing!

While we were at the overlook, we noticed the Navajo Loop Trail. John hesitated for only a moment before deciding to hike it. It was a 1.3 miles loop, so he was confident he would do it. I chose to stay on top and film his journey whenever I could see him. As I waited, I scanned the trail, confident that staying up top was the best choice for me! The part I could see was a steep switchback just before returning to where I was waiting. Once I saw him coming up, I decided to hike a little bit down the “easy” part of the trail… it wasn’t easy! I had a bottle of water for him, so when he met up with me, he was ready for a cool drink! (Points for me for taking care of my man!)
