We were just going to hang out today but decided to take our pictures to the Visitor Center for the Hike the Hoodoo Program. 

We received this nice pin for our hikes - COOL - Smile.

There are shuttles in the park that go to a few of the overlooks - about 4 miles into the park.  Twice a day there is a shuttle that goes down to the end of the road.  When we went to the Visitor Center last week I asked if it was a guided tour and was told no.  Well I asked again today and found out that it is a guided tour - 3.5 hours and free.  So we signed up for tomorrow morning.  (A little peeved that we were not told that last week!) 

Since it was still early we decided to take a ride on the shuttle - just for fun Smile.   Then we found out there was a ranger talk at Sunset Point on Bryce geology so we got off there.  But we could not find the meeting place so walked on the Rim Trail to Sunrise Point.  The views:

From Sunset Point, we walked to the Bryce Lodge and found this along the way:

Andy LOVED the price - 21.9 cents per gallon:

We wandered around the lobby, gift shop, and patio and looked at the menus for the restaurant.  Beautiful inside.

The shuttle was coming so we hopped on and hopped off at the Visitor Center and walked home - nice.  Our new neighbors are from Pennsylvania so we had a nice chat - small world.

I spent time updating the blogs but have not been able to upload.  So when the signal is strong, you may be seeing a few of them instead of one.

Enjoy today and stay tuned for tomorrow’s adventure.
