[…] April and May: In spring we started heading to northern Arizona, spending a lot of time in Cottonwood and Sedona and getting back into hiking mode. We visited both the south and north rims of the Grand Canyon, and toured the famous and amazing Antelope Canyon. We ended the month at what turned out to be our favorite national park of the year: Bryce Canyon. […]

In reply to MonaLiza Lowe. Willis Creek was very enjoyable and pretty, especially for Opie! How did you like Bull Valley Gorge? There seems to be some drop-off points, making it a bit of a challenge. I think we might want to spend more time exploring Grand Staircase next time we're in the area. There appears to be lots of great trails to try. You are right, Opie is a good identifier. I think a few people have recognized us because of him, he's famous! :) It was great to meet you two also and hope we can spend more time together next time.

In reply to Laurel. Opie is definitely a good tour guide but sometimes I wish he was more of a couch potato! Course we do find some nice spots to visit because of him, so I guess it works out. It was good timing on meeting Mona Liza and Steve, I think we had a 1.5 day overlap before they left Bryce so it was a quick meet-up but enjoyable. Hoping our timing works out so we can meet up with you and Eric again, hopefully next year!

Oh Im so glad you made it to Willis Creek, I wanted to do that hike but ended at Bull Valley Gorge instead.
Opie is our identifier, and glad to meet both of you. Hope to cross paths again somewhere and catch up.

Queen’s Garden/Peekaboo/Navajo Loop is our favorite trail in Bryce, too. And I agree, Red Canyon is beautiful—and fortunately, not over visited (yet). Very cool slot canyon you discovered in the monument! Opie is a good tour guide, even if he doesn’t know it. :-) That’s so great that you met up with Mona Liza and Steve. We were supposed to meet up with them in Bryce, but the weather didn’t cooperate.
