Camping in Bryce

Over the holiday we headed down to the Bryce Canyon area for a little camping trip with family and cousins. My brother is building a cabin down there so we all just camped on his land. Bryce is amazing! I can't believe that I have lived in Utah for 27 years and have never been to Bryce. Seriously one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Not to mention that the recreation is limitless. Hundreds of miles of breathtaking hiking, biking, and off-road trails. Just our kind of place.

Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera, but we caught a couple pictures on our phone.

On the rim of Bryce Canyon on a very windy day. Ben carried Faith basically the entire 3 mile hike. And Wyatt was fortunate enough to catch a ride on the shoulders of his Papa and Uncle most of the way.

It was a fun hike with switch backs all the way down the canyon and then looped back up. Faith thought that the whole place was filled with castles and there might have been a dragon lurking behind any corner. I thought it was an accurate description:)

On the edge of the Paunsaugant Cliffs after a long RZR ride. Pines and red rock are an amazing pair.

Chasing dragons

And when we weren't on a trail we were riding around the camp, playing with cousins, catching horny toads, roasting s'mores, driving monster trucks in the dirt, eating Otter pops and throwing rocks.
We made lots of great memories and had a lot of fun. Thanks to Adam and Emily and their hospitality:)

No, that's my brother's. But we did rent a cute little class C. That's not a bad way to camp either:)
