Wednesday morning I got up at 6:00am. After packing up camp, I headed
back to Bryce Point to start the Peek-A-Boo Loop Trail. Well, first I
blinked and missed my turn. That did lead to this pronghorn spotting,
however. During this Utah trip I saw a fair number of deer that had a
remarkable ability to run away as soon as they heard my camera lens
motor out. For this guy I cheated by taking the picture from inside
the car so that he couldn't hear the lens.
The Peek-A-Boo Loop follows a horse trail for part of its distance. Here's a riddle for you: why is it that a horse can be broken, but it can't be housebroken? I've noticed in my hikes that the horses seem to poop mostly on the steepest parts of the trail. Thus, a trail with only one major steep part has most of its poop in one area. Stinky!
The hoodoos here were the same as elsewhere in Bryce. So instead of
more hoodoo pictures, here's a squirrel.
I mostly avoided taking pictures of artificial windows cut for the
trail, but this one was kind of neat.
