Irresistible.

Reflections and shadows captivated us as we returned from the peak. An elderly couple taking in the beauty on Poway Lake, below Mount Woodson.

34:17 Utah: Bryce Canyon: Peek-a-Boo trail in winter with snow.

'Peek-a-Boo', how apt. A golden moment. Bryce Canyon may not be the best hiking venue around although it provides a hiker with some wonderful opportunities. Bryce may not be a place a person wishes to visit annually or on a regular basis. What Bryce is: One of the most remarkable locations we have visited. It is unique. While many marvel at the thought of visiting another planet of the universe or even sending an automobile for a lubrication and service into outer-space (amazing), we have no hesitation in believing this area of Utah is unique. It's so different from even all the other amazing places on Earth that it might be the location we would select to visit should we be given only one choice. As an aside, we did see something similar, a smaller Bryce, at Cedar Breaks Park, also in the same state. It's dramatic, colorful, historic, challenging both physically and of the imagination, growing or more likely, crumbling and shows different facades each day...

"Jen, I can't find the peanut butter—the bread's so dry." "Can I bring you up a vegeburger instead?" "That'll be nice. Perhaps, forget the peanut butter then...ketchup and mustard would be great? Oh dear, some water, too. I stood on something squishy." No problem. I see a lake. Why don't I dash across and wet a cloth for you." Thanks, Jen. Try not to be long, it's cold up here. Across the way is Laguna Peak, we're hiking to it tomorrow. Maybe check it out." "Hey, what's got into you? Why'd you roll that boulder at me?" "Why do you think, big boy? You need to run a lot faster." What's got into you? All I asked for was a little peanut butter? I think you forgot this day, my Sweetness. Cheers, Jenni and Jeffrey
