Bryce Canyon with Mimi

While my mom was in town, we all headed down to Bryce Canyon for the night.  Paul and I wanted to do a couple of bike rides there and we decided to make it a whole family trip to the park for some hiking too. 

Here's our pictures from the park.  They're a mix of a couple of different days and a couple different cameras.  





I didn't love the Ergo carrier when Audrey was a baby but I definitely love it now.  I can carry Colin in it so easily.  








I love this shot


The kids loved the tunnels


Cairn Garden




Colin loved hiking up the switchbacks


The hike we did was a combination of a couple of different hikes. We started at sunrise point and ended at sunset point.  The hike(on the park's guide) is considered the "best 3 mile hike in the world".  It was really pretty.  

The main reason we chose this trip was to do a mountain bike ride called Thunder Mountain.  We headed out to do the ride right when we got it.  We parked in the lot at the end of the ride and then road 8 miles up the road to the beginning of the trail. This was the first problem, it would be SOO much better if you were able to shuttle it.  The trail was absolutely beautiful but parts of it were just so difficult; loose gravel, stone, and steep.  






A couple videos of our ride


We were pretty worn out after the ride. We were able to get another ride in across the street the next morning before our hike.  This one was really nice.  It didn't quite have the stunning views but was still really pretty, and the terrain was a little friendlier.  We'd like to get back to that area sometime.
