After a stop here of around 2.5 hours, we move on to Bryce Canyon. This natural ampitheatre is known for its 'hoodoos', distinctive geological formations towering over the landscape. We will enjoy a BBQ lunch, explore the area in the afternoon and spend a fun evening around the campfire for our first evening of camping in the Bryce Canyon area. On this tour, all camping equipment is provided (including sleeping bag) at a full service campground with electricity, Wi-Fi, hot showers and flush toilets.
