Many of the interesting spots in Bryce Canyon are clustered close together near the entrance, close enough that if you blink, you'll miss your turn. After missing my turn back to the campground, I figured that I might as well take the auto tour of the back areas of the park. I ended up stopping at Farview Point, Rainbow Point, Natural Bridge, Paria View, Bryce Point, and Inspiration Point.
Some of these points included a short hike from the parking area to the best view.
Auto tour:
Time: 4:00pm - 5:45pm
Distance: ~1.5 miles
Ascent: ~350 feet
Water: 0.0 liters
After dinner, I wasn't so sleepy as on previous evenings. I tried to read a book at my campsite, but the bugs were bothersome. I tried shutting myself in my tent, but that was warm from sitting out all day. Also, the guys at the next campsite were having a good ol' time, so I didn't really get to sleep until 10:30.
