We said: Drove into the park and boarded the shuttle that rides through the parkand stops at many of the trailheads, lodge, and museum. Took a hike into one of the canyons that narrows as you walk in-didn't bring shoes to change into, so we had to stop when the path ended and river took over. Went on to the Hidden Canyon hike which warned of "not for those with fear of heights", but Sharon decided to be brave and hike on. Well, a little over halfway Sharon stopped at one of the switchbacks (where she was dizzy and there happened to be a bench) and Paul went to the end and picked her up on the way back. We hike on a few more trails and then drove the park road which takes you through a mile long tunnel-did the Canyon Overlook Trail on the other side of the tunnel and then drove off towards Bryce. We stayed in Panguitch Oregon, which is about 10 miles outside of Bryce.

Just before the mile long tunnel.
There are overlooks cut into the tunnel-pretty cool.

Paul took a picture of the guy who accompanied him on his bike journey-he also went to the top of the trail Sharon couldn't make it to the top of.
There's Sharon waiting for Paul to accompany her back down the hill.
