Honeymoon Day 6: Bryce Canyon National Park

We had a nice leisurely morning at Capitol Reef National Park and made breakfast over the campfire (yay for something other than Cheerios!), and then we packed our tent, etc into our car and drove to Bryce Canyon! Our first stop at Bryce was the Visitor Center for trail advice, and then we drove to the Bryce Canyon Lodge for a nice lunch before we started hiking! Over lunch we were continuing to look at the Trail Map, and we made a nice plan for a good hike. We decided to start at Sunrise Point and do the Queens Garden Hike combined with the Navajo Loop, which brought us out at Sunset Point... so then we just had the gorgeous flat walk back to Sunrise Loop all along the rim of the canyon. It was a GREAT hike, but the end was quite exhausting because it was uphill and it was starting to rain which made it very slippery and muddy! All of the scenery on the hike was so amazing though, and I think this might have been my favorite of all of the National Parks we saw! Everything just looked so darn cool and beautiful, and Bryce Canyon is known for its rock formations called hoodoos, and I think they're super cool.

There were a few of these little man-made archways we had to walk through on our hike

This is Thor's Hammer! It's the hoodoo formation sticking up in the center of the picture. 

Here's a closer picture of Thor's Hammer! 

We're laughing at how bad I am at taking selfies! 

After we finished our hike, we stopped by the gift shop that was near where we'd parked our car, and we got a few local beers to drink outside on the patio! It was so relaxing and a great way to recuperate after our hike. After we'd rested a bit, we went to check into our ADORABLE cabin. I really couldn't get over how cute it was, and I really think I could live in a cabin like that for the rest of my life (if it had a kitchen of some sort...). We both took showers (they were BADLY needed by this point... we were disgusting), and then we relaxed until dinner time. We had dinner back at the Bryce Canyon Lodge, and it was so amazing. I had a nice glass of wine and a steak, and McGee had some local beer and fish (Mahi). 

Our beers! Mine was called HooDoo beer (and that's Thor's Hammer on its label).

Our ADORABLE cabin!!! We loved it, and it was right inside the park. It was just a few minute walk to the Lodge. 

The ceiling in our cute little cabin! It was amazing.

This was our cabin! I probably should have taken a picture before we had our stuff everywhere messing it up! But we totally fired up that little fireplace in the corner later that evening. 

This was the fireplace in the Bryce Canyon Lodge! I loved it so much. 

After our stomachs were super full, we walked back to our ADORABLE cabin and relaxed for the rest of the night! We had a nice fire in the fireplace and we also had our heater on - I'm SO glad we didn't camp at Bryce Canyon because it's the coldest of the National Parks we went to (due to its high elevation). We were nice and toasty warm and comfortable, and we loved Bryce Canyon!
