Today we awoke in Hatch Utah and decided that another hike in Bryce Canyon NP was in order. We laced up our boots for one final western mountain experience and the dusty Peek-A-Boo loop trail. This trail was deceptive…it said only 1500 feet elevation gain, but with the numerous ups and downs throughout the entire hike, we swore it was much more than that. Despite the seemingly endless climbing, we were rewarded with hoodoo views in all directions (see panorama below).
Because we successfully completed the “I hiked the hoodoos” circuit in the park, we were rewarded with a pin by a park ranger at the visitor’s center that made us quite proud. We’ll do a trip by numbers post, but the mileage logged on our boots (and legs!) was pretty significant.
We decided to make our way up to SLC this evening, as it would make for easier packing and departure to the airport tomorrow (so sad!). It’s the end of trail folks, it’s been a fabulous trip and we’ve made many memories that will last us a lifetime!
