Adventure in Hiking part 2

The next day we went to Bryce Canyon National Park with our friends, Ross and Jean Richards. We wanted to hike the famous Navajo Loop Trail. It is the flagship trail. It is a short mile and a half but the steep inclines can be a challenge both going down and coming back up. We had some concern for Ross because of his motorcycle accident a couple of years ago. He nearly lost his leg. He was up for the hike so off we went. As we approached the trail an older gentleman told us we were too old to go on this trail. He was sure we couldn't make it! Little did he know.

We were ready for the challenge and excited for it. David carried the water, I had the camera and one of Ross's walking sticks. The photo ops we thought would be spectacular. They were.

This is a little tunnel about half way down. Then I had David continue down and take a picture looking up the switchbacks where we stood.

This was a spectacular experience. One you should plan to do ASAP. The interesting thing was that as we walked the trail and spoke to others on the trail, most did not speak English! They nodded politely and went their way. It is defininately worth the trip from anywhere to hike in Zion's or Bryce. ya'll come. Jean and I are sitting on a log in front of Two Bridges. Ross and David are climbing back up the trail. The tight passage is just so wonderful. I have to go back! I think you should come with me! Bring your camera. You'll love it. It's not that hard.
