Paria Point had a number of viewpoints.  The final one was this area.  It was so windy that we had to hang on to the railing - Yikees!   But the view, oh my! - see above.

Our next overlooks brought us to the Bryce Amphitheater where most of the hoodoos are located.  WOW is all I can say.

Breathtaking, Awesome, there are no words to describe it!  Tomorrow we hope to take some of the trails down into the canyon and walk among the hoodoos.

Before heading back home, we stopped at Ruby’s in Bryce Canyon City to pick up a few items and to check it out.  Ruby’s is this huge complex of lodging, campground, gas/propane stations, touristy stuff,  laundry, etc...   They have a few restaurants and also a country dinner show that we might check out.

This evening was relaxation time - and checking out all my pictures.

Enjoy today and stay tuned for tomorrow’s adventure.
