Our Hike: I think we chose the perfect day to hike this trail, of course it was extremely crowded for the same reason, but still well worth it. The trail takes you into the heart of Bryce Canyon, with other-worldly formations by your side as you walk along the trail. It is tempting to stray off the trail, but be careful about cryptobiotic soil and slippery conditions.
